Fluke, Farce & Fertilizer

A lucky accident, the book explains,

a chance, perhaps a trillion to one.

Consider how you came, oh lucky man,

and bless your luck before the farce begins.

Absurd proceedings (oh, and futile too):

the book’s precise about the pantomime

that entertains a lucky man all day

en route to where he started, earth to earth.

A substance (natural or chemical)

that mixed with earth promotes fertility:

can this be all a lucky man expects,

his due when summoned out of nothingness?

Though fanciful to not embrace his lot,

oh lucky man who falls upon a god.
