“Probability” – Lia Purpura
by richibi
“The Miracle of Light While Flying“ (1931)
_________
miracles, like beauty, are in the eye
of the beholder
they are astonishing circumstances
sufficient to transcend
if one dares
__________
Most coincidents are not
miraculous, but way more
common than we think—
it’s the shiver
of noticing being
central in a sequence
of events
that makes so much
seem wild and rare—
because what if it wasn’t?
Astonishment’s nothing
without your consent.
__________
ever
Richard
psst:
coincidents, incidentally, are the,
plural, components of a coincidence
coincidences are the components
of, as stated above, miracles
note also “Probability‘s” loose rhymes,
“sequence”, “events”, “coincidents” /
“wasn’t”, “consent” / “more”, “shiver”,
“rare”, like glimpses of gold beneath
a nebulous surface, open to discovery,
something miraculous
