Coincidences?

I.

Last August 8, I started a new blog which I named, "The Gods Envy Us." (Yup, after the line from the Troy movie.)

Last August 12, I bought a book of poetry (rather casually and hurriedly, from a book sale) entitled, The Gods We Worship Live Next Door, by Bino A. Realuyo.

II.

Earlier this afternoon, I added the following phrase to my secret prose poem:
perhaps among the 150 buried in Payatas...
Just now, this late evening, I read the following from her* poem:
A few miles away, the residents of a dumpsite are dead, their bodies buried in an avalanche of trash.
*Last night, I visited, just for the second time, a bookstore which -- according to the "attendant" there yesternight -- the poetess co-owns. (To my sweet surprise!)

And, barely an hour ago, I watched Rated K and found the place where Ryan Rems Sarita was interviewed as quite familiar. ;-)
