Found Poetry Before Breakfast

I thought there might be a found poem in Weingarten's article about the Joshua Bell busking experiment. I added "the virtuoso street busker" after "When he left" and fiddled with the line breaks and got this:

When Picarello was growing up
in New York,
he studied violin
seriously, intending to be
a concert musician. But he gave it up
at 18, when he decided
he'd never be good enough
to make it pay.

Life does that
to you
sometimes.

Sometimes, you have to do
the prudent thing. So he went
into another line of work.
He's a supervisor
at the U.S. Postal Service. Doesn't play
the violin much, anymore.

When he left the virtuoso
street busker, Picarello says,
"I humbly threw in $5." It was humble:
You can actually see that
on the video. Picarello walks up,
barely looking at Bell,
and tosses in the money. Then,
as if embarrassed,
he quickly walks away from the man
he once wanted to be.
