Entanglement
Love and Quantum Mechanics
My Love,
Maybe
This distance
Is not as great
As we think
Maybe
As particles spin
In pairs
Forever bonded
So are we
Connected
Entangled
Polar opposites
By definition
But spinning
Through the universe
Defined
And redefined
By one another
Space
Cannot separate us
Light
Cannot catch us
Gravity
Cannot slow us
Disbelief
Cannot negate us
Science has yet
to fully understand us
Great minds
Have called our bond
“Absurd”
“Spooky”
“Unknowable”
Even
“Nonexistent”
Do you remember our meeting first?
A great force
set a new course
And our charges were reversed
We can’t (at the same time) be in the same space
But, far from cruel
by that same rule
I can physically touch your face
But our connection
A quantum certainty
Is real
Bonds
Like ours
Hold the world
Together
And together we are
Even when separated
by the stars
Maybe
We’ll come together
Again
Or maybe
We don’t have to
For I am always with you
Always entangled
With you

Perfect Little Pirate
The rough, sodden rope bit into her fingers as she swung over the roiling water far below. Reaching out with the toe of her boot, she managed to catch hold of the rain-soaked railing of the ship- and promptly slipped. Throwing herself forward, she landed hard on the deck, slamming her elbows against the wood planks. The sharp yelp of pain quickly bubbled into a laugh, and she rolled onto her back, laughing up at the gray sky as a torrent of rain washed away the soot covering her skin.
