You didn't get to pick
the village you grew up in,
with the river that flowed through it,
and the girl with the beautiful face
who lived near the school.
It all just happened,
like everything else.
Later you argued about circumstances;
you thought you had choices.
But it had all been determined
by that village you grew up in
which you didn't get to pick,
the river that flowed through it,
and the girl with the beautiful face
who once lived.
