Randomness is rampant

Randomness is rampant
we assume
Yet light chooses how to appear
depending on how
the observers expects it to act

Photons "choose"
through which slit to slide

Seems incredible
until I consider us on the road
driving like blood corpuscles on
the capillaries and arteries of US highways

We have purpose--
a final destination, many days hence
but along the way we stop
for gas
for restroom relief
for food
for ice
for drink
for exercise

But to an outside observer
all of the other travellers with us
follow a flow and pattern,
perhaps predictable,
always purposeful
