Lucky Lucky written January 20th, 2021 "I've always been lucky," he says, standing at his gate talking this dirt road "I survived an inoperable brain tumor, cancer and they took one of my lungs, but I had 2, so I'm fine. Always been lucky." He turns back to his home and dogs rolling the gate shut behind him. I am left to wonder how does fate dispense luck? Who gets it? What type? How much? Is it years served? arrests made? women loved? raised? dogs cared for and buried? I sit in my car and watch him walk through the trees to the house he built with plenty of room to turn around in I see the inexorable path the luck dispensed and choices made that has brought him to this moment he and his dogs at the end of this dirt road. If he could choose different luck would he? this man who has always been lucky. |

This might be my only poem about someone I actually know. I took poetic license with a few details. Sometimes I try to paint pictures, and this might be a picture that only I can see. I probably haven't shared enough for others to see it, but then that's poems isn't it? I write, and you take what you do from it. Through the lens of your own life. I asked my friend if I could post this, and he said yes. We haven't talked about it yet, but I suspect that he would say he wouldn't change anything. I think most of us know, we can choose the next step on the path, but not where the path ends.

they offer luck a substance unseen which we can use to live this life diverse beyond the boundaries of experience and knowledge of learnings and commonsense and yet when you look at luck you understand it has two faces can have many lesser graces bring misfortune and sorrow turn idyllic day to tragic tomorrow.
