Song in My Heart

Deciding, individually to hide in plain sight; arriving to class in Long Island University at the same time they grappled determinedly for the very same seat in the very back of the large introductory program amphitheater. They were, in no particular order, Ezra Goldman, Max Ottoman, Douglas Fields and Ira Sinclair. No class was big enough for the four of them. Try as they might, they couldn t decide who should occupy the coveted seat, so the seat went empty as the four young assuming gladiators stood guard. Each man had told their co-conspirators just why he should be granted the seat. After hearing each argument, No one willingly relinquished their hold on the seat. The class ended with those obstinate guys standing in a cluster around the vacant seat. Needless to say taking notes was difficult if not impossible while standing guard holding onto their undeserving possession.
