From our slant, any revision
to the norm initially
seems bizarre,
but in reality
the suitors of change
maybe ahead of the curve.
 
The handshake
of hindsight
records the most informed mise.

The leniency of large-heartedness
can sometimes harm
those not ready to be pampered.
Even as participation in a process
uncurtains us;
there is no fulguration.
 
When unschooled in musical traditions
the toccata
is a trauma, like love, with its intricacies.
