If the world was one giant grocery shop
And we'd find everyone at one stop.
We could pick people from different aisles,
Without having to travel even a mile.
If nothing was ever remotely different,
Our choices would be limited to infinite,
Not as a common denominator,
But as a common numerator.
You could pick a person from aisle three,
Exactly how you'd pick coffee or tea.
You could take an item and return it to the shelf,
And grab an identical item from the same spot.
Every person would be easily replaced,
Like the act of cut, copy and paste.
Humans however are not identical,
We differed from faces to ventricles,
Even our hearts were made different,
So did our lives and frame of reference.
Humans can not be picked up and replaced,
As though memories didn't occupy a space,
In our hearts.
The world could never be one giant grocery shop,
Cause the biggest difference in a pond is a single raindrop.
