My only ally in this life has always been serendipity. That's why I replied to this post. It's a simple post. Ice cream is simple. Kindergartens are simple. On their surface, of course. You ever watched "Kindergarten Cop"? Try and watch it and remember that scene where Arnold reads a poem. Find that poem. Read it whole.

Sometimes things that appear shallow bring about the deepest truths: if you take effort not to ignore what you're looking at, what you're hearing at the moment, if try not to ignore all your other senses. Suspension of disbelief is crucial, ESPECIALLY if you want to write something - even non-fiction. Or else, how do you expect your readers to do the same and believe your words or least consider them, if even you yourself cannot do that little trick?

It's beautiful poem for any age. It's a gem, which I discovered only recently when I re-watched the film. A gem hidden right there, in plain sight.
