Pure Chance | Dillon Randal

one thing after another
trying one more idea
nothing works i’m about
to give up and that’s not
good for any of us especially
not me and anyone else
in the vicinity not because
of any danger but mainly
due to the fact that i’m about
to give up if something
doesn’t happen soon
i mean a lot of people with
absolutely nothing going for them
make it and i don’t which means
that either i’m really deficient
or there is some cosmic
arrangement based on
pure chance

Right Time Right Place | Michael Kagan

I just happened to be passing by
there it was
lying in a garbage can
a post card
in a knotted language
I could not read it
but somehow it was clear
the long awaited answer
the elusive one we hoped for
looking so humble
for all the world it contains
I will have it faithfully restored
professionally mounted
and elegantly framed
a feature documentary
about building a long wall
out of a billion lost emails
with innocent burnt edges
limited edition books
a full-length movie
smoke and mirrors
make the point
with a great supporting cast
the wonder of it all
I just happened to be passing by
