The Gig

 

It is said, the cream of the crop


rises to the top. The disadvantaged


and defeated linger in line at the


bottom. The next hitter awaits his


or her turn in the batter’s box.



Who shall be selected next for the


inevitable car crash on I-435?


We live our lives everyday


repositioning ourselves in the


race against time. It happens


to the best and worst of us.



This is an irrefutable fact


which cannot be denied. The


call is made. He, she, they,


them, you or I. Sometimes


it is apparent, at times a rude


awakening or pleasant surprise.



One flash of a moment or long


overdue awakening. Who shall


be the next in line? That day of


reckoning for each and everyone is


destined by nature to arrive.



For now in the moment, enjoy the


ride. Was that your name called


or mine? When the gig is up, one


day it will not always be applied


to the other guy.
