Favorite Quote:
"To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all." - Oscar Wilde


We are all aware that calamities befall us,

yet still we hold tight to our arrogance;

"No one has that bad of luck," you say.

 

So you buy your ticket to France or China or Peru,

and as you're crashing-

through the clouds and ubiquitous blue-

 

you realize;

the sky is an upturned ocean

and you will drown on this sinking ship.

 

The irony of your petty confidence

seems acutely magnified

against the backdrop of the potential inevitable,

 

that is no longer a matter of percents and probability,

but rather,

your sorry fate.
