My apologies to chance...

My apologies to chance for calling it necessity.
My apologies to necessity if I'm mistaken, after all.
Please, don't be angry, happiness, that I take you as
my due.

May my dead be patient with the way my memories
fade.
My apologies to time for all the world I overlook
each second.

Wislawa Szymborska, "Under One Small Star"
