Evolving as a Minority in View of String Theory Democracy

by Sara Batool
(New Delhi, India)

One day, in this glass-tank-aquarium-world
we were convinced was one whole universe
from multiple universes of glasses-tanks-aquariums-worlds;
one day, when I was brave,
the sparks of my anger became bigger and
bigger, and natural selection chose this
to be the part of me that survived,
made it out in the world.
That was how I became a jellyfish
lying on its back and front in the ocean.

Five faces that couldn't be told apart
and a sting for a body;
wouldn't you, too, envy such an existence?
