My Strange Amoeba
Notwithstanding its ability to reproduce by simply
separating part of itself from itself and sending it off
to pre-school, it wasn't all that different from other
simple life forms, say clarinetists or performers on
the oud. It's not a question of bricolage or muscle
thumb, but rather watching where one falls. Nervous
improvisations in adjacent precincts. The constant
lap of water on the shore. Aromatherapy, one
option we'd given no thought to . . . until yesterday,
that is. Playing near the edges of one's world, one
finds, even there, mandatory vaccinations. Relatively
fixed, in this most neurotic of worlds, despite our
most fraudulent endeavors, we await our ends with
just precisely the right amount of equanimity.
