I do not believe in luck.
I don’t have no truck
with claiming sovereignty
over random things.

I possess nothing mysterious.
No inner force
that can change the world
or overcome gravity.

In fact -

if a falling brick
misses me nearly
I am grateful, dearly
to the universal hand
that slowed it down
(or hurried me up).

Luck says I rule
but no,
I only recognize
the One who does.
