Admitting to Fate


Coincidence is not fate

Says reality formed, looping like

Crochet work unfinished by some

Bored Deity

 

Coincidence is not fate

Says slender legs settled in a

Plastic pink chair just to fulfill

A “Requirement”

 

Coincidence is not fate

Says tired fingers cramped

Above a glowing keyboard

Hours later

 

Coincidence is not fate

Says hands quaking over a major change

Form from stable S-T-E-M to

Lilting literature

 

Coincidence is-

Says Coincidence-

Coins

Fate
