the miracle

you might say
that neither of us
deserves it,
has any claim to it;
you might sit and listen
to our stories,
and to Our Story,
and laugh your way
through Disdain
and Ridicule;
you might discount
Remarkability,
and scorn
Serendipity;
you might look askance,
and shrug off everything,
as lustful Coincidence;

but we know --
we really know --
and you would be
wrong.
