there’s a theory

in quantum mechanics

an utterly complex

& difficult theory

to understand-

much less explain

without proper expertise

and divisive research.

put simply,

it states that

our universe,

our past,

our present

and our future

are a part of an

infinite number

of universes.

so many,

in fact

that every possible

outcome,

reality

and scenario

is happening,

has happened

and will happen.

I take comfort in this theory.

I bend my knees in gratitude

because in this possibility

there is another-

one, where you and I

have a chance,

a feasible chance

somewhere outside

the tangle

of this life

and the next.

I only hope 

they grasp the luck

we’ve been denied.
