Finger Of Fate

Even if we don’t understand it there’s still an even 

chance; like, it isn’t challenging our existence - or 

have I missed a nuance, a sleeping in front of TV

kind of intelligence I’m unaware of, or that bent of 

notoriously bartered agreeance arranged so we’d 

never need to be confronted by it’s reality; not as 

if we’d apparently see differences between it and 

any mischance of fate in our worst nightmares 

So where does it leave us - aware but not awake 

I’d guess, more or less habituated to what should 

be a concern if we could see the sign, and if able 

to read it - espy propriety rights already inscribed 

to outside agencies; it hardly comes a surprise - 

especially where the advantage’s been tamed
