Coincidence Annie

Through glass refracted, temple tables turned

Unerring down the paths of artless dance,

And seemingly without rehearsal burned

Your way to distant hearts, which by some chance

Aligned with ancient facts you never knew,

A song-bird brimmed with synchronicity,

Announcing things that rhymed and then came true,

Like someone I was hoping you would be.

If you see Sally, say we’d like to hear

Just how she knew to call that very date.

To lesser men in faith it might appear

That souls so linked may overcome their fate,

But now I gather, like a falling cat,

Sometimes coincidence is simply that.
