Out of Thin Air


The business
of life goes on
around me
all the time,
and I never
even notice.

But when
I stop
and look,
gardens appear
out of thin air.

LETTER
I went to a second-hand music stall on Highway 67
during its rummage sale to see if I could find
an accordion for my polka band. There I discovered
exquisite hand carvings of miniature dolls. I had no idea
anybody possessed such skills, but you proved to be
quite helpful. I commissioned several miniatures,
which you made from i-phone snaps I took of troublemakers
in my classes. These, when struck on the noggin with a
metal mallet, would resonate a "ping" that rendered mute
and pliable those ingrates I could not control at school.
I have always been tempted to commission you to carve up
several administrators as well, but simply to make students
well behaved was enough for me.
