Notes About The Poem

The actor Michael J. Fox admirably fights Parkinson's disease. His youthful body was always on the move in humorous play. 

Michael J Fox

I am careful not to confuse excellence with perfection.
Excellence I can reach for; perfection is God’s business.

Michael J. fox 


Michael J. Fox
comic genius as he rattle-talks
Family ties, Secret to My Success, Spin City
Back to the Future…give applause, not pity
