Nails walked into the wood at right angles And just at the positions and length to hold Bars together. The bars themselves came off The tree's intestines, in fitting chunks of Lego magic. Baby skin smooth they came Together and in went the nails. They came 12 of them, in 6 sets of twins, with a specific Spontaneous destiny: to become part of the Mindless chanceful event of a chair. They came together in unplanned sequence Such that it was done right and looked good.
But the angles aren't right, and the joints Sing their pain when one tries to sit. This thing looks like it might fall apart. The splinter in my finger tells the chair That it didn't polish itself right ... Then I ask myself:
Could this have been a misstep of nature? A random event?
Probability of 12 pieces of wood being right Probability of them arranged just right Probability of nails shaped and long just right Probability of 12 nails going in just right Probability of this holding together?
I've been told that a crappy chair Is the proof of the absence of a carpenter, But did the chair just spawn itself or Or was it just a crappy street corner carpenter?
