In Another Life

I would have been a theoretical physicist. Or a mathematician. Or a neuropsychologist looking for the scientific basis for beautiful words. Or a speech therapist whose specialty was pronoun inconsistency. Or vendor of sweets who sold love letters written by strangers. Or an architect who couldn't draw. Or a priest who composed operattas in between masses. Or a beauty queen who would get pregnant during her reign. Or a botanist who mistook leaves for flowers.

What would alan lightman say?

Or an english teacher.
