Reality check

would I be going far back
when the building of the pyramids
took place
would I be forwarding to a
distant future on a faraway planet
would I be there in the renaissance
with Leonardo and the biggies
or would I be part of Mozart's entourage
singing my head of in the Magic Flute
would I be a Celtic wise woman
or a Nordic ditto
would I be a slave on a ship
going from Africa to the States
would I be an English proper
lady married off to an Australian
would I be jet-setting with the
Fitzgeralds on the Rivera
none has my fate - no one will
anybody would not be - nobody - me
somebody could say she was
me - and that someone is I
