Leave It To Chance

Living 'with elegance' is like having a 

gods ear; - it’s in a description where 

relevance shows majestic ascendency 

over whatever eyes see - it may seem 

innocent but an instance is, never say - 

‘this here’s a spot’ - regardless what its 

cause is you’ve broken rule #1, which 

is to see only where the elegance is 

So we dry plates to put away; - not an 

exacting task but spots appear where  

practised eyes believe they needn’t be; 

are these off of the sideboard then is a 

wiser play than - you didn’t wash ‘em!; 

saying it allows free breathing space 

But truth’s wiser with placing jeopardy 

in a neutral stance - if we simply clean 

off the offending spots enhancing what 

we see a no-prejudice opportunity with 

good grace - will she grant a need for 

glasses - or do we leave it to chance
