PATTERNINGS
The patternings of the great aren't that much : they learn
to walk early, they learn to make their noise. It's only later,
in retrospect, when all those telltale signs show up : great
at logic, deft with hands, fierce with numbers, drinking
juice by the glassful. The "we should have known's" mean
really "we should have seen it coming." Parents are the
last to know. Like some reverse Houdini, most people
are expert at getting themselves, time and again,
back into the very same chains that
they just got out of.
