Everywhere

I'm at some mundane task,

And ask fate to kick in,

Good fate to be sure,

A boost toward something grand.

Then things get hard,

And I want no meddling in my life,

Just simplicity again.

Neither works, for it's not I alone

Who names the favored state.

Choices and actions are my partners,

Shaping me, and each other.

They find me even when I seek to hide.

No day is ever just my day,

As, arm in arm,

We shape our fate together,

My partners and I.
