Bit of Dis
and a Little
Bit of Dat
Some folkS might view lighting something
or somebody as a page out of an Nfl playbook,
complete with Xs, os, arrows, blockers, and
tacklers—an intensely complicated diagram
with many moving parts. And, of course, just
like any play in football, no matter how carefully
mapped, once set in motion the whole deal
has a tendency to careen out of control,
accompanied by much grunting, sweating,
and the possibility of severe injury.
