| A trainee coincidence | |
| in its second year of study, | |
| who hadn't yet created | |
| its first success, | |
| announced wearily: | 5 |
| | |
| "That's it, I'll never get it right. | |
| I'll never successfully cause a | |
| coincidence. | |
| So, as far as I'm concerned, | |
| you can stuff the whole concept | 10 |
| up your arse | |
| because that is exactly what | |
| I'm about to do now." | |
| | |
| In the classroom next door, | |
| another trainee coincidence | 15 |
| was about to do | |
| exactly the same thing. | |
| | |
| Even if we can find some | |
| way of telling them | |
| it's much too late now | 20 |
| unless somebody, somewhere | |
| is writing exactly | |
| the same poem | |
| as I am now | |
| and changes the ending. | 25 |
