a pre-cog suite
i.
You knew I'd write these,
and that they'd be just like this,
these pre-cog haiku.
ii.
These blessed, cursed verses
seem to offer you a choice
about the last line.
iii.
But we're here again
wondering, as it happens,
why you're not surprised.
iv.
You've heard it before
in Minority Report
by Philip K Dick.
v.
Who takes credit? Blame?
Is foreknowledge authorship?
Why are you smiling?
vi.
In the end, of course,
all your choices led you here.
Like to choose again?
