There, but for the grace of grace, I would be, and then, oh, by the grace of clumsiness, I wish we could be, and sure, about the grace of gratuitousness, we've known enough to know, still it's all tastes of grace with bounces of heavenly spice.

I hope, when you eventually ask me to forgive you, that I can.

started setting up the screen and projector to watch basketball in the basement, only two subway stops from the stadium (everyone in town is mad at ben simmons) there is elegance in basketball, the hop in a three point shot, a floater like an afterthought, a finger roll, delicate, effervescent somehow dribble behind the back if you blink you’ll miss it there is something mesmerizing about watching people whose bodies can do things i don’t know how it will never be able to do. they make it look so easy, maybe that’s the allure maybe it began when i swan lake with linda jet, or with the guy turf dancing on the corner in east oakland—i watched videos of him obsessively (i wish i knew how to write about dancing) my soccer coach called me grace but i don’t have grace, i just move quietly and i don’t dance i am a terrible dancer, incredibly self conscious and stiff but maybe in my dreams, maybe in my bedroom alone, where no one is watching it’s a different story altogether

The one in my choir is a soprano who stands in front of me and a little to the left. This positioning might be different next year - we shift as people come and go, as director Douglas adjusts the voices. "Thank you, Grace," Jill beside me once said sarcastically. That was because Jill had asked how we were pronouncing Latin "Venite" in a song and Grace had said, a little show-offily, "Well, it makes sense to stick to church Latin, not classical Latin." She looks about forty and more than once she wore a T-shirt with the name of a group of...doulas? midwives? Something to do with childbirth. She mentioned something about not working with them directly, from which I surmised she was a general-practice nurse. Well, I'm not great at guessing people's jobs from uncertain cues. At the dress rehearsal on Friday, she said, by way of explaining why she was tired of singing "Joy to the World," "I've been an Anglican priest for fifteen years."
