There are simultaneous threads
Running side by side
They start with choice and circumstance
And they multiply
Think of all the potential futures lost
To linear time
So move sideways into another
Of your parallel lines
You can cross them like wires
If you wanted to
I've done it a handful of times seeing a country
I've cherished since my youth
Or when a dream's so vivid
It's so much more than life
That's how it feels to fall out
Into a parallel line
But you may use them dreadful
When your nature unfurls
And you tear the fibres blame another you
From a parallel world
And you absolve yourself
Cause you felt so alive
As you sample the stories that live elsewhere
On your parallel lines
