Invitation
Midge Goldberg
 
 
You know the sort -- the postcard that gets stuck 
 between the ads for siding and the plea 
 for missing children, that you usually 
 toss out, another scrap1 for the garbage truck. 
 
But, to your own surprise, one day you pluck 
 the yellow flyer out and go, and he 
 and you first meet, which just as easily 
 might not have happened, a simple case of luck: 
 
enough to send you screaming to the skies 
 about the crazy vagaries2 of it all, 
 everything resting on a thing so small, 
 
the million chances you don't recognize, 
 much less take, and then, the one you took --
 the random3 blessedness of that one look.
