Inevitable2

poem by: John Prophet
Written on Sep 08, 2021

Modern
human.
Two hundred
thousand
years
in the
making.
Personal
existence.
What
are the
odds?
Ten thousand
generations
of
Homo Sapiens.
Personal existence
required
ten thousand
consecutive
ancestor
connections.
Ten thousand
ancestors
needed to
procreate
with who
they did,
when they
did
for personal
existence.
Each coupling
generated
five hundred
million
pieces of
genetic material.
Each
representing
different outcomes.
For personal
existence
each
coupling
required the
correct
item out
of
five hundred
million
hitting the
target
ten thousand
times
consecutively.
What then
are the
odds
of personal
existence?
Incalculable.
However,
with infinite
parallel
realities,
each following
different
paths,
personal
existence
would be
inevitable.
