pleading perpendicular

chance is the antithesis
of importance.
things that matter
can be undone
by the immeasurable
& unpredicted

it's nobody's fault.
you & i,
we are
winners & losers
in entropy.
i might have loved someone else
if i never met you
but i didn't
& that’s
important.

all unparallel lines
intersect at only one point,
so let's revel
in our small eternity
because we never will again.

it's nobody's fault.
lines just go.
rain just
comes
& we cannot help
but stand in the wet wet
naked or fully clothed.
nobody comes home dry.

of course i want
to be with you
but love knows nothing of hurricanes
who do not care who they destroy.
two unparallel lines intersect
at only one point,
& they keep going after that
for an infinity
we cannot calculate

statistically
we have one chance,
but i want you
illogically
& that's
important
