dancing around crying
three heads and
you don't believe in luck
luck some magical force
hovering above everyone's heads
altering events like a mad gnome

no crystal balls here
just probabilities
all these people going to this deli right
one of those mom and pop places

finds a hair in your sandwich
improbable but most definitely
possible

into the light
has to happen to someone
if a hair exists someone has to find it
maybe you or joe
or not in your lifetime
just like one person
will never find a hair
in any of their sandwiches

We always get into really interesting discussions at work.
Do you believe in luck? Why or why not?

This is interesting, because my wife had this discussion a few weeks ago. Whether you want to talk about math and statistics or fortuna or divine providence is almost irrelevant semantics.
