Challenge
Thank Stephen Hawking for this one: attempt to verbalize the significance of multiple universes as theory or reality. Be subtle.
Existing In Different Universes
In endless aqua ocean
droplets of infinity cascade.
Somewhere far away
carbon copy of me
is drinking rum and coca cola.
In this other world
I am completely different
than I am in this cosmos
dancing or weeping
for the world I’ve never met.
A Camelot never explored
but stretching, beckoning
outside my horizons.
I am significant here
but nonexistent there.
What if the perfect man for me
lives in a different universe?
Never the twain shall meet.
His soul has crossed
into other realms
where I don’t exist.
I fall asleep with his visions
and awaken to reality
in another universe
with person unknown.
Standing on the ledge of space
will I teeter into dark abyss
or stand tall where I am?
