The Weak Anthropic Principle

Everything had to be
Exactly as it was
For everything to be

Exactly as it was.
So what? From the viewpoint
Of someone anywhere

Waking up, say, somewhere
Comfortable but drab,
Safe but temporary,

And contemplating what
To do next, to keep on,
Persevere, and preserve

As long as possible
Some safety, some comfort,
No harm done to others

Or not too much, given
One never knows the harm
Incidental to acts,

To simple behaviors,
Using fuel and water,
Swerving to grab something,

Everything has to be
Exactly what just was,
And never what comes next.
