Passion

Now I'll be the first one
to admit
insurance
can be
a dull business
but today
when my boss
compared
a policy-
100 pages
of codified
exacting verbiage-
to a work of art
with electric excitement
in his eyes
and the thrum of joy
in his voice
I had to agree
you see
sometimes
its about perception
the angle
from which you view
the depth to which
you look
and the thing is
for all his peculiarities, his
persnickety demands
his enthusiasm
is contagious
for not only
is there function
and concrete meaning
in the work
there is a beauty too.
