close calls, with tacks
and nails,
shards of glass,
missing injury by
mere inches, or seconds,
car crashes
somehow avoided.
the tree limb
falling as you just
pass by.
the snake, slithering
between your
feet,
the shark in the water
bumping
your leg.
lighting mysteriously
striking a tree
as you stand in the rain.
it's a lifetime of near
misses.
it just isn't your time yet,
as your car
crosses the tracks
a split second before
a roaring train.
