Priceless

It is the unexpected
that puts the wonder
in wonderful.

Surprises
are priceless.

So it is in the movies,
when an award-winning actor
suddenly appears
in unrecognizable make-up
for just two minutes
of screen time.
So it is in music,
when during a rock concert,
a rapper suddenly walks onstage
to spit out verses,
creating a remix
that is not in the album
version of the song.
So it is in novels,
when a sudden twist
destroys the
plot's predictability,
creating a
new narrative
arc altogether.

And so
it is
in real
life.
