Musing On The Multiverse and All The Possibilities That Could Be (Multitudes)

In other realities 

you are here with me.

In other realities

you liked flowers 

and didn’t see receiving them

as a waste 

In other realities

I was a snake 

and you were a vine. 

We twisted and twined 

around our own posts

two effervescent curls 

In other realities

We had a second chance

do it proper

do it right 

In other realities

I was the lips and tongue. 

You were the ears 

there was never something that was left unsaid

never something that was misunderstood 

In other realities

we sat in separation sections on the 70 bus

heading toward downtown Seattle

barely looking up

in your Virginia Mason scrubs 

In other realities

You were God

and I was the son  

You winced in pain 

as the knife was plunged 

into my chest

for no angel arrived to stop Abraham 

In other realities

We never met

This heart never broken

This poem never written

These pages blank 

These tears never wept
