Choices of Past Forebears
Random chain of events

guarding existence of me
interminable fits and starts
concerning self destruction
inherent within one measly
self important species.
Yours truly synonymous

untold past multitudes,
who trod upon this oblate
spheroid preceding one
anonymous groveling,
middling sniveling modest
Homo sapien) pursuant
upon unknown destination
giving contemplative,
introspective, speculative...
pause every now and again,
asper bajillion prior
bipedal hominids, whose
individual deliberate or
random natural biological
impulses wrought sons
and/or daughters, whose
subsequent call, sans their
wild procreative proclivities
unwittingly begat the
unique chromosomal
combinations inscribed genes
imbuing each of us with
transient occupancy to revel,
relish, reckon very finite
number of orbitz around
nearest star, how longevity

and/or vocationally)

biochemically, physiologically...

microscopic) comprising

tragic mishap in utero

tremendous steep odds (analogous
to drawing winning lottery

processes diploid propagating

haphazard spontaneous
buzzfeeding circumstances

precedents begetting each

predestination intervenes
likened to invisible hand.
