HOW TO MAKE GOD LAUGH

We plan days
like our lives 

are a game 
to be won. 

But strategy 
won't boost our luck—
not even a little.

Ruination 
is as certain 

as the punchline 
to a setup; it's just

the length 
of our stay 
of execution

and the build-up to 
and the nature of
that devastation 

which beguile us, 
like riddles,
just long enough

to keep us from 
asking the obvious 
questions.
