Falling Barometer

If you believe in causation,
You might want to consider all
The invisible things never

Happened thanks to the things that did—
It’s not merely that the happy
Romance could only have blossomed

Because of an unfortunate
Accident at the time, nor that
The injury itself occurred

Because of some foolish mistake,
But that a cloud of unforeseen
And never possible to glimpse

Events now have gone to limbo
Because of everything that’s past—
The other romance, the happy

Or unhappy celibacy,
The other injury, the years
Of good health—there’s your multiverse.

No wonder those with faith in cause
Are prone to dream things otherwise.
Cause lowers angel-laden skies.
