Since this is National Poetry Month, I decided I should have at least one poem on purpose–and not just from a challenge. Inspired by The Time Traveler’s Almanac–not a story in particular, but the cumulative effect of reading 300 pages (out of 943) has warped my brain a little.

Twice
If you could travel to one day
in your past
with a time machine to show you the way
and take you right back
would you take the risk that you could
a second time around
live your life better–make good
on some dream
that never came true?
Is there something you did
you’d give anything to undo?
Or would you reject that marvelous invention
and live your life
in chronological convention?
