Back To The Future
Some would go back,
change painful mistakes,
ruin happy memories
screw up history
step on a butterfly
fuck their mum
discover penicillin
kill Thatcher
save JFK
meet John Lennon
buy Google
sell Enron
love again
beat Ali
deliver Jesus
make Victorian Gregorians
stick it to the man
choose the blue pill
sleep with Brigitte Bardot
pull out of ‘Nam
fail college
jump
fly dragons
forgive and forget
find the beginning
skip to the end.
I, I want to ask Emily Dickinson,
“Emily, what the fuck is up with those dashes?”
