What It Takes

            It takes a real artist to see a stuffed squirrel and mount it in a gumball machine.
            It takes a real scientist to see people in molecules and vice versa.
            It takes a real dentist to operate while watching a football game with back turned.
            It takes a real guru to speak by tugging one’s beard.
            It takes a real marmoset to migrate to Yugoslavia and back.
            It takes a real school bus to lose itself in a mental maze of journey and introspection, and ultimately come out of the tunnel.
            It takes a real writer to write this drivel.
