The Quantum Nuances

Of any given experience

Are so fleeting

It would behoove one

Not to contemplate



Otherwise, one might

Find themselves

Curled in a fetal position

Wailing tragically and

Gnashing their teeth

Babbling exhaustively at

The mere contemplation

That everything is either

An illusion or reality



Just as much as it is

Waves or particles

Depending on how or

When it is observed



Understanding atoms

Are deadless energy

Microscopic molecules

Made up of quarks, neutrinos

And mostly empty space



Zipping around rapidly

Coagulating as humans

Vegetables, minerals, or animals

Planets, stars, galaxies, nebula

And even more empty space



While holding both temporary

And permanent memories

Temporary as in what you

May have had for lunch “yesterday”

Permanent as in what you did

A thousand lifetimes ago





Quantum Mechanics:

a theory of matter that is based on the concept of the possession of wave properties by elementary particles, that affords a mathematical interpretation of the structure and  interactions of matter on the basis of these properties, and that incorporates within it quantum theory and the uncertainty principle

Whew…

Put that in your pipe,

…….. and don’t smoke it.

The tricky part is accepting

That what was once

Many grains of sand

Soda ash and limestone

All originally very opaque



Having been heated is

Now very clearly translucent

As a windshield, holding back

Wind, rain, snow and insects

Seemingly solid to perform

Its duties in the agreed to

Mind construct of reality

Still made up of molecules

Whirling around in their new role

Moving while moving through

Space and time, also linearly

Once back there, now here

Yet essentially, no where

For if it were not being observed

It is not really “here” is it?




“All of that
Which has reality
Has no basis
In reality”

– Angelo Devlin





Now, if I could just find a place

To pull over and “curl” up…….

To contemplate quantum nuances
