                                  why good things happen to bad people i'll never never know.    now that was a freudian slip   i meant to say   it
                                    the other way.      why bad things happen to good people i'll never never know.   but that's the way it goes   i
                                    guess.   good people always in a mess   and the bad ones a-ok   as if there weren't any other way   to live. 
                                   
                                 there is.  
                                 no converse distinction between good things happening   and the quality of the people   that absorb them.  
                                 or is there?  
                                 if the all the cancer patients that don't get well   are "the nicest people you'll ever meet"   does that
                                    mean   that "the nicest people you'll ever meet"   are all the cancer patients that don't get well?   that's
                                    what some doctors say.     what if being good is killing them?  is it better to be bad and live?  
                                  
                                 who knows.
