An Example of Destiny in Action

Two brothers,
each trying
to brush his teeth
more like their dad than the other.

Fangs bared,
eyes fixed,
a measured plunge
into the cheek. Two minutes.

One will grow up to be a bus driver
whose ambition
is to drive
the filthiest bus in the filthiest city in England.

The other
Fights Off Thugs With Radiator,
as the Evening News puts it.
