It could happen to you. One day you’re sitting in your doctor’s office waiting for the test results, eyeing the Jackson Pollock across the room, musing about how yoga lessons could have changed his painting style. And the negative test results conjure into your hand and you’re so happy you’re dancing down Fifth Avenue profusely thanking God – erasing all old agreements, creating new ones. And it’s a freak thing. “Never happened before,” they said. But the air conditioning unit from apartment 5C drops down and you awake to bright lights and proddings. Two weeks in Intensive Care. But you’re insured.
