Metronome redux

I got a letter yesterday from a credentialing organization.  One more thing, it said, one more thing, and we will give you more letters after your name.  Maybe it will allow me to come at the official letters from another angle, I thought.  Maybe.  Get thee behind me.  Get thee behind me.  Then I saw the NPR metronome post. Oh yeah, I thought.  Oh yeah.  I am thinking of going back to that bookstore and setting all the metronomes at different speeds.

Before I started grad school

The last time around

I found the metronome display

In the bookstore.

I had no idea

There was such a wealth

Of metronomes.

I thought about starting them all

At different speeds

Stealthily,

Quietly,

Then leaving.

I didn*t do it

But still

I smiled all day

At the thought.
