81/365: Accidentally Talking with Oedipus

Oedipus will back me up on this -
you were destined to be reading these lines
right at this moment.

There are things you can fight,
but fate isn't one of them.

So I'm sorry if I've entered
your afternoon web surfing unexpectedly,
but it was preordained.

It's also true that
your choice of dinner this evening
is going to lead to an inevitable conclusion
some years from now.

Well, maybe not your dinner,
but something will.

See - Oedipus is nodding over there
the empty sockets of his eyes
directed away from us, but his ear
pointed straight at you.

He tells me it's not all bad,
this fate thing -

not
all.
