Close enough

Actress, producer and wife, she struck out 
on her own pitch and transitioned to criminal
influencer, remaking fashion and behavioral
trends in prisons and extralegal organizations
and clubs, worldwide and nation tall. Soon 
the authorities wanted to cut her a sweetheart 
deal: full amnesty (nothing she'd done had 
been technically illegal) in exchange for 
influencing criminals to be more badass 
and cool, only in prosocial ways. She said 

"Hey what the hell, I've always marched 
to a drumbeat of some kind" and signed on. 

The experiment won her the Nobel Prize 
in Economics, because the committee
was like "fuck it. Close enough" 

People learn to make way for a trailblazer, 
don't they. Oh yes more or less, and she 
went down as one of the best - but she did 
go down, in the end. We all do, but as she
might have said you can't let it stop you.
