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 |
