What Brings You Here?

Probably, you tend to assume
All things happen for a reason.
Probably, the human species

Could be binned by majority
Who feel that way deep in their bones
And minority who allow

Coincidence to play a role,
A real role, not just in the wings,
A real role, if not in all things.

Find the weird individual
Who’s comfortable with meaning
Nothing--casual, not causal--

Merely impressed by numerous
Independent variables
In this believed connected world,

And you will discover the world
Rather poorly distinguishes
Causation from sheer consequence.

Coincidence plays its own role,
A real role, not just in the wings,
A real role, if not in all things.
