Let’s aim for eternity
she said
and we should be good
for the lifetime
we did not
waste our breaths
on subsequent lifetimes
what’s the point
when you have to
aim for eternity
again and again
honestly, though
we did dwell
on the issue
of multiple lifetimes
together
surely, she said,
it’s very unlikely
that this is our first
if there are many
probability is loaded
against it
especially if
the talk of seven or so
has a grain of truth
and if it’s indeed not
our first,
I concurred,
then not remembering
what we learned
the last time around
kind of makes the case
for keeping it simple
this lifetime
and aiming
for eternity
hoping
it would be enough
for this lifetime
