there's a lot of luck
in longevity, a stranger
pulls you from the path
of the bus of destiny
or maybe a friend gives you
good advice, forks in the road
known or unknown, flips
of coins that spin around
on their edge like a top
gone amok, careening against
a wall, whirling like water
going down the drain to spill
your fate, What
can I take credit for, What was
simply miraculous, What
was utterly random, What
was a celestial gift, what was
a lightning strike for good reason....
I don't really want to hear the answers
i already know I had little or nothing
to do with it, free will is a talking point...
we make our decisions believing
we are shrewd and independent
and live with the mysterious aftermath
the cocktail shaken.... not stirred
