The only hope that was left -- and it was the wrong envelope (He ate it with catsup as he always does)

Contingency is the agenda
of the angel/The agenda of the angel of chance is contingency. 
this is not a program
the program was cancelled
this continued
things happened
things looked like one thing one
moment 
              another the next
things continued to happen not
withstanding that
fact that was not a fact
things looked like one
thing one moment another the next
and that was the only hope that was left
