Trying to Change Fate 2010

Janet Kuypers (poetry converted to prose)

    the way a weight on a stretched elastic cloth can move and distort the fabric of the cloth, everything in existence can distort space in the universe.
    i’ve been wrapping my head around this, that gravity isn’t the strong one but gravity’s a consequence of the distortion of space and time. the larger the distortion of space and time the bigger effect you see in gravity.
    so as sci-fi media talks of warp travel all they’re really talking about is producing the energy to warp space-time so you instantly arrive at the other end of the universe.
    because with all that energy, the other end of the universe comes to you.
    i’ve been wrapping my head around this, using dark energy to bend time and space, and i keep wondering what i could do if i knew when and where to get away from where i was, get to where i need to be.
    would i have learned my lesson and not come to you when you, the ex-gang member strangled me?
    would i have come to you in the middle of the night, called an ambulance before your heart attack, keeping you alive?
    would i instantly arrive that one fateful saturday to go swimming instead of waiting in traffic, being almost killed while stopped on the road?
    would I come to you despite the hurricane to hold you once before you let death consume you?
    wait, i know us, i was your daughter, but i was never close enough to you to hold you.
    i should know better than to contemplate bending space-time, trying to change fate.
