New poem: "The Failed Assassination"

 

The Failed Assassination

 

One or two millimeters closer

and world history would’ve taken

a different course, and one wonders

if it was providentially designed;

or was it dumb luck, chance, or pure

happenstance? Who can say for sure

why the presidential candidate was

spared his life? But if choreographed

from above, might not the nefarious

intention to murder the former president,

whatever the evil motive, be divinely

designed from the thought to execution,

including the sloppy secret service? 

After all, how can you have the one

without the other?
