History Happens

History Happens

When Booth stepped into the box
There was a moment he was
Just a washed-up actor criticizing acting
As he stood behind the president.

And there was a moment when in the
Book depository Oswald could have
Watched the motorcade like everyone
Below and with a telescopic view.

The bullet that grazed his ear might not have.
The man along the fence line might never have been found.

History happens in infinitesimal space,
In less than an instant.
