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.

    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.
