Director’s Cut: I Pass
“I’m gonna make him an offer he can’t refuse”.
—The Godfather (1972)
(In this case: refused. Very firmly.)
Somewhere between train schedules and Christmas and New Year’s Day, I received a “Happy New Year” text.
From “Toronto Safe Circumcision”.
I don’t remember signing up.
I don’t remember needing this reminder.
And while I’ve been saying “yes” to a lot of things on this journey
This one is a firm, respectful no.
“This is not the adventure I signed up for”.
—Guardians of the Galaxy (2014)
Still the universe has a strange sense of humour.
