Coign Of Vantage In The Air

Call it a quirk 
Of fate if you will, 
 
But it’s not 
 
A coincidence 
The shiny coin you keep 
 
Flipping always ends up 
On its edge.

  1. I love this one! On rereading, that "if you will"—the irony of it in light of "fate"—suggests the indecisive coin. Had to look up "coign of vantage." How could I have lived so long without running across that delicious phrase?

  2. Hey, Joe--good to hear this one got to you, and I thank you for the compliments; as for that delicious phrase that somehow went right past you, don't give it a second thought--it was Kismet you should see it here. . . . . .again.
