Celestial Orchestration
celestial orchestration worked out
all to satisfaction: Monday the
monster machine ate my credit card,
Friday I received a new one
just in time to pay the physiotherapist
who sent an invoice by SMS claiming damages
for the few precious moments
I was allowed to experience the bliss
of his youthful enthusiasm
for fixing aching patients
Now I am to pay for every sparkle
in his innocent blue eyes, ah, the
fate of life - every little service
comes at a pre-set price, but
I am not complaining,
sitting on the very expensive pillow
I bought from His gracious Lordship
I have indeed less backache
than before, therefore
let me go and defray the cost
that led to greater ease
in my quiet and sedentary life
