Entanglement

Love and Quantum Mechanics

By Scott C LillardPublished 3 years ago • 1 min read
A reading of the poem set to an excerpt from a symphonic piece I composed

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

-S
