Time Line

If we could get an extra view,
Or ride a timeline split in two,
We would know what circumstance,
Was left to us or left to chance...
Then we could increase the odds,
At anytime by switching sides,
Gliding past what could have been,
Deciding if we should again...
Back and forth at your disgretion,
Just so you avoid confession,
Places where you took a fall
Were times you didn't jump at all...
But as each one deviates,
What you think it alleviates,
It's crossing paths that intertwine,
That multiply within that line...
So the one that has divided,
With another one inside it,
Opens up another door,
As you move between the four...

Interesting and imaginative. If only we did possess such prescient talents.
