bifurcated

branching a way
this tree holds sway
take this limb and
put a fork in it
bifurcation doubles
all possibilities
simultaneously traversing
both branches
of thought
can both be true
or neither naught
really deciding
it does not matter
the branch climbed
or what would we
cling to antigravity
always a possibility
as you and i cross
paths like Serpinski
we triangulate
ever finer thoughts

The possibilities of "what is" or "what can be" are limitless.

I think Serpinski's writings punctuate the complexities of "truth" and the notion that even one thought, action, or movement, however subtle, can change or alter any system, whether it be biological, psychological, social, political, ecological, spiritual or otherwise. These potential changes or alterations may also have influences on the world and the universe at large.

Indeed, "we are our brother's keeper."

GG, ty for such a thought provoking write

Hi, agoodguy2have,
The tree of life has many branches, branching higher and higher as this tree holds sway. Defying gravity, we climb.

I like the short style again, it suits your write. As for your inherent meaning, I probably do not have sufficient neurons.
Serpinski was a mathematician, bifurcation is a mathematical theory.
Could you be suggesting that there are mathematically infinite opportunities for meeting up with another?
Perhaps I should go and stand at the back of the class...
