Notes About The Poem

"..... define the moment or the moment will define you."

Quote By  Walt Whitman

Listen to poem:

Happenstance

What happens is a bifurcated
fork, with fate's twin prongs.
You can prick with it,
or can be pricked by it.
The choice is yours!
Is that happenstance,
a chance happening?
Or did you make
the chance happen?
