Principles of Superposition

            “I’m sorry, I know that’s a strange way
               to tell you that I know…”     
                                                                — Ben Folds

We belong                                      

                                    to spirals & helices

we’re formed
of temporal

                          & spatial

                                                hypotheses

                       learning &

forgetting
boundaries

                                    without a nuclear

certainty
we drifted

                 split by heresies

                                                   of truth

                      & liminal

 
centuries
from anything
                           

                     but absolute

vagaries
that quantum

                    mechanical

 
                                             livery

                   once worn

complete
in servanty, recalls

                           this absurdity:

we can
be whole

                                yet occupy
                                two localities

at one
time.
