By mistake after mistake
our lives take place.
At every intersection
we are forced to choose.
And at every juncture, by choosing,
we create a road not taken,
an alternate universe that might have led us,
willy-nilly,
into an uncharted way—
though they are all (for that's the point)
uncharted.
The question is:
where would we have ended up
if we had chosen any of the other pathways?
Could I conceivably have found my true self
(the one I am closing in on during these late years)
could I have found her
if I'd angled differently at any point in my life?
I have to be grateful
for the hunches and nudges
that guided me this way and that—
sometimes against all reason—
and brought me to this table,
this notebook,
this pen,
this writing.
