I love this poem Sherman! Our lives are formed by all of the small choices we make and our lives could be infinitely different if some of those choices were different. My high school sweetheart was an Indian boy and I was that white girl from humble beginnings. Our lives are woven into beautiful (and not so beautiful) threads and a stitch to the left or right changes the pattern(:

Kelly, thank you so much. Yes, that stitch to the left or right. You’re still a poet!
