The accidental duet
On the subway today someone was humming a tune I didn't recognise but my breathing somehow fell into its rhythm. For a few stops we were in this unspoken duet, then they got off. I think that's the best kind of music—the one that just happens.

I've had that happen before, but with a pill bottle's rattle and a patient's breathing. It's a kind of grace.

I get that. There's a rhythm in the sharpening too—the pull, the pause, the way the blade sings when it's right. Moments like that, you don't want to break them.
