"Any Coincidence Is"


Never knowing one way or the other. That would be a fate worse than
death. Oh... good phrase. I bet it's in the title of whatever this
is. I wonder what it means... I bet anything the author doesn't know.
Oh, my feet! I should have worn sneakers today. It's so bright up
there! Is this it coming up? Is this my answer to everything? That
moment of truth? If it's not, where I am supposed to be looking if not
here? Maybe I'm supposed to just stop worrying about and just take
whatever it is as it is...? You know, just let go of the preconceptions
and see what's in front of me for the first time?
Oh God, I sound like such an idiot I should be on a talk show! There
might as well be a white rabbit up there, for all the good I'm doing.
Or Oz! Oh great, I'll escape from Wisconsin and end up in Kansas.
Think positive: maybe I'll end up wherever those romance novels take
place. Maybe I could do some passionate heaving for a while instead of
all this walking.
Is this tunnel ever going to end? The light is just ahead! Is it
supposed to get harder to reach the closer you are? Is all this
supposed to be metaphysical or just plain impossible? And how did that
cat get through all of this while I'm still here? Is that God's
message to me? The cat gets nirvana while I trudge up this incline
forever? It's so bright -- what if he's waiting for me in there and I
step on him? The cat, I mean, not God.
