I almost got stuck between parallel universes
In one a favourite ex-lover
claimed it was time to love again
In another world
I fed my dog and buried my cat
In another I ran through a magical garden
such as I have not seen since the 1960s
In this current world
my wife erased tattoos
of our imaginary children
I never knew being old
would be so wonderful
with so many worlds
I live in
still there
