feeling lucky

you miss
the plane
that crashes on
the runway,
no one is injured
but you still
feel lucky
just the same,
and when the ocean
liner goes down
you feel that you've
made the right
decision on not
taking a cruise
to Italy
or spain.
so when she doesn't
show up
for dinner
that you slaved
over for a whole hour.
you feel like
you're on a roll,
a lucky streak
that you
don't want to break.
