Becoming

---

Did the world happen to me?
Or have I happened to it?
Am I the centre of the world
Or is the world the centre of me?
If I create my world within the world,
Am I considered sane or absurd?
If I was not of this world,
Would I have become good?
Or worse?
Where do you locate the foci
Of existence?
In this world or your own self?
Or your own universe?
Would the world get better
If I wasn’t in it?
Am I the mistake that happened
To the world itself?
Or was the cosmos
The giant blunder I stumbled upon?
If the world wasn’t made of
A great if,
What would have become of me?
