Had you told me
one year ago
my twenty-second birthday
would be spent
in a library,
I would have recoiled
in shock and a bit of fear,
probably, and asked
how you could know that.
You see, this is the problem
with hypotheticals.
You no doubt
sought to make conversation,
expecting me to reply
that it would be a surprising
turn of events.
But apparently you
possess either clairvoyance
or time travel technology –
do you expect me
to take that news
just lying down?
