Multiverse
23rd November 2007
From the bottom of the garden
with my head tipped right over,
it seems like the yard is vertical.
There’s this theory that for every
choice in life you didn’t take there
is another universe where you did.
So there’s another me standing in
my yard where there are no trees
dropping an afternoon of hard work.
I guess there is also another me
standing here without a broom; and
another yard without another me.
When you think it through fully
leaves in the yard are a really small
price to pay to be standing here.
As I sweep I’m still jealous of the me,
who with a tip of his head, can activate
a micro gravity well in his composter.

A treat for the wandering mind. I’ve held a long fascination for the parallel or alternate universes theory (ah, the escapist in me speaks).
Parallel universes are a compelling daydream of what might have been. They offer comfort from our mistakes and hope for yourself to do better whilst realising that you wont.
