Kismet Arrives In Strange Packages

It is so. Kismet arrives in a Celestron
or a Camry. It arrives as the dispossessed.
Kismet comes from all four corners
of the planet and the four corners.
It comes in requests and sadly,
dreams from which there is no escape
but to dream on of false snows
in southern exposures where snow
cannot dwell, kismet is there.
It is called the twelve thunderbolts.
Mistakes find kismet a cousin
where kismet is the largest of families,
the lineage of occurrences, happenstances
near the lote tree, the stolen rose in the flood.
Gilgamesh is the kind of kismet worth
explaining where the old rivalries
are merely flare ups and toning down history
into a palatable holistic-ness for the New Age.
We are one in the tale of one.
Human beings are the contempories
called the future in the apocrypha.
The fuel of the fire is man it said,
and kismet is its cousin.
