Coincidence is never just coincidence
Nor is our sense of time so carefully attuned
That we're aware of every minor incidence
Even within the spaces in which we are cocooned.
Coincidences that we see are therefore not
The simple overlap in time or space of things
That happen to be present; no, they follow thought
And that seeming significance attention brings.
If we stopped all attentiveness towards that which seems
Coincident, perhaps we would not realize
That they were there; of course, within our stranger dreams
We would still see subconsciously and so surprise
Would still sneak in; it is impossible to see
The world without coincidence, at least for me.
