Relationship Of Chance


Did I thank you for not shooting me
when you should have? Probably
I made it sound like some half-assed
explanation for not kicking you in the
genitals, which, let me explain, I’d do in
an instant. Opportunity remains,
motive wanes from moment to
moment – the truth is I’d get nothing


out of it when I take a retrospective
slant on us. Why kick you for things
you’ve done? Or shoot me when the 
moment has come and gone? Are we 
reflecting on a future or a relationship of 
chance which has still yet to mature?
