Infinite Possibility

The Earth is spinning faster
Than it has in many years ~
Time itself is relative,
So it now appears

Suddenly our quantum
Scientists can see
Not one, but twelve dimensions
To our reality

There was a day when ’twas believed
In many places in our world
To count the cows too carefully
Would calcify the herd

Allowing no provision
Divine dispensation for
Which might see fit deposit to
One cow, or two, more

And mapmakers were greeted
In old Tibet with deep dismay
For it was by them understood
They fix the land would in that way

Allowing no more for the flow
Celebrated Celtics by,
When faerie’d pick their path’s ends up
Another ending try

Just as we on ours,
Upon a truth they’d all agree
And, for that time and place, all saw
That same truth truly come to be

Just as Marco Polo,
When he returned home, was received
As an exaggerating fool
Not to be believed

Until more passing centuries
And improved travel methods proved
That every word he’d spoken
Muxh respect behooved ~

Beware the permutations
Of potential reality
Available, which we ignore
In our complacency
