Karma

Why argue?

Ten or fifteen minutes,
late or not, the train
was bound to leave before
you came,
               and if
you'd come just half
a minute past the hour,
as sure
            as not
that train would have
been here and gone
at six o'clock.

And so, if circumstance
permits,
             why blame it
on the cab, if you can
blame it all on fate?

Damn!
