luck - glück, or: this gap between





luck: 


good or bad fortune in life

caused by accident or chance

           

in German: Glück

a word that is close to Lücke – “gap”



which points at the close scale

between good or bad luck



in the case of missing a bus,

or a look

or a realization

by a minute

on an everyday Thursday morning



and all the causes

and consequences

this gap between


your life as it is    //    your life as it almost would have been


/a  gap that you obviously never

will be fully able to grasp/



may encompass
