INSIGNIFICANT

Our alternate futures twist 
around themselves, 
converge on nothing-moments, 
become new stories even in the telling:  

I kissed you today;
it will be our wedding tomorrow;
we never spoke;
you are the scar on my trust;

 and even so, in every timeline, 
we lock eyes in Walmart
on November 15, 2014, 
every single one but this.
