I AM A PARTICLE. I AM A WAVE.


One day I will return

to my quantum state;

neither here, nor there.

A complex wave.

Contours of constant probability,

defying prediction

of such conjugate variables.

Am I matter?

Am I spirit?

When my body is at rest

where is my energy?

It will have been

translated into this closed system

and become what I have done;

having changed this plane

even if only in the most

subtle of ways.

It goes on and on

even after my cause

has long been forgotten.


When my spirit

is thus quantifiable,

having irradiated away

and given off

its valance,

then you will know

all that I am

all that I was

and all I will ever be…

and I will be gone

having crashed upon the beach

and returned to the sea.
