Everywhere
I'm at some mundane task,
And ask fate to kick in,
Good fate to be sure,
A boost toward something grand.
Then things get hard,
And I want no meddling in my life,
Just simplicity again.
Neither works, for it's not I alone
Who names the favored state.
Choices and actions are my partners,
Shaping me, and each other.
They find me even when I seek to hide.
No day is ever just my day,
As, arm in arm,
We shape our fate together,
My partners and I.
