How far back
do you wish to go?
Could
the universe
have failed to
Big Bang?
Could
the sun have failed
to be born?
Could
the moon have been
to small?
Could
it have failed
to form at all?
Could
life have been
still born?
Could
the asteroid have
passed us by?
Could Eve
have been
to shy?
Could
Neanderthals
have won the day.
Could
Columbus
have been sunk
at sea?
Could
the Pilgrims
have stayed
at home?
Could
the Revolution
have failed
in vain?
Could
Marie Antoinette
have kept
her head?
Could
the South
have won
the war?
Could
the Titanic
have stayed
afloat?
Could
Nazi Germany
have prevailed?
Could
any
of your ancestors
turned left
instead
of right?
Do
infinite realities
indeed exist?
Has
everything
in fact
occurred?
Where
does it all go
from here?
