"it's so good, i hate myself"

what is the pattern in who gets leukemia
or who wins the lottery
or who flips his car while texting
whose father runs off with his secretary
and who sets world records
who loses her job
and who gets addicted to heroin
who finds his soul mate on the subway
and who becomes a widower on his honeymoon
who gets the promotion
and who gets messages from the angels
who has a good relationship with her mother-in-law
and who becomes allergic to seafood
who finally quits smoking
and who discovers the cure for aids
who is assasinated and matyred
and who chokes on pizza cheese
whose computer crashes
and who takes really good photographs
whose dog runs away
and who loses his son in the war
who reads this
and who glances
who decides to hijack that car
and who gives the beggar some slack
who gets a bad haircut
and who finally finds the perfect couch
who rips his favorite pair of pants
and who wins a nobel peace prize
who gets the window seat
and which fish takes the bait
who gets caught in the rain
and who is the hundredth caller
who gets a speeding ticket
and who finds her tribe
who's listening to all six billion thoughts
and making sure the sun rises on time?

that makes me think of this

Stumble Between Two Stars by Cesar Vallejo

Beloved be the unknown man and his wife.
My fellow man with sleeves, neck and eyes!
Beloved be the one who sleeps on his back.
The one who wears a torn shoe in the rain.
Beloved be the bald man without hat.
The one who catches a finger in a door.
Beloved be the one who sweats out of pain or out of shame.
The one who pays with what he does not have...
Beloved be the ones who sit down.
Beloved be the one who works by the day, by the month, by the hour.
Beloved be the one who sweats out of pain or out of shame.
The person who goes, at the order of his hands, to the movies.
The one who pays with what he does not have...
The one who sleeps on his back.
The one who no longer remembers his childhood.
Beloved be the one who sits down.
Beloved be the just man without thorns.
The bald man without hat.
The thief without roses.
The one who wears a watch and has seen God.
The one who has honor and does not die!
