Evaporation

poem by: John Prophet
Written on Aug 11, 2021 

Evaporation.
The
future
evaporates
with every
choice.
Those,
who would
be known,
will not.
Others will.
Children
that would’ve
been born,
will not.
Others will.
Places that
would have
been.
Unseen.
Future
an amorphous
place.
Infinitely
variable.
Potential.
All possibilities
exist.
Swimming
through.
Through
infinite
choices.
Infinite
futures.
Future
you’s
ghost like.
Depending
on choices
which will
emerge.
Morphing
along
the way.
Outcomes.
Infinite
outcomes.
Choices made.
