when was the last time you sat still long enough
to ask the question
how did I get here?
it’s a rabbit hole i’ve been falling into
more often than not
you’re telling me
not only did i survive the odds,
but so did thousands before me?
every choice
every hesitation
every canon event
every rejection
every change of heart
freak accidents
blessings
wars
borders drawn and redrawn
each one
threading its way through time
to land me here
writing you this thought?
that kind of alignment
it sits heavy on the mind
and now,
what do you do
with that kind of knowing?
that’s the question
and somehow,
it’s also the answer
to everything
