All the things I could have been

The first dimension is a point,

and the second is a line.

The third is the world we live in,

and the fourth, I'm told, is time.

The fifth can see a future,

but the sixth sees more than one.

Out of the infinite possibilities,

which 'me' will I become?

The seventh is parallel universes,

and the eighth is all their tomorrows. 

I wonder if there is another me

with her own happiness and sorrows.

The ninth takes every possible path

of every universe -- but then --

all of this becomes a single point

when we get to dimension ten.

But these dimensions are worrisome

because they offer too much possibility.

What are the chances that the path I take

will be the right path for me?
