De Rerum Obfuscura

In quantum terms the human mind

Presents a decoherent resolution

Concluding temporarily in a single state.

Is my oatmeal a whole grain or half life,

A leakage from inchoate origins

Out of an earless field resolved in breakfast?

A hyperstealthy cat in the mind moves

Here and there simultaneously alive,

Lacking that leakage and, entangled, dead.

The mind has two hands, using both to grasp

The cat, a piece in each holds firmly fur,

Entangled in a bird’s eye dream of grassy

Waves swaying silently while changing light

Into a human hand, mammalian touch

Which sets in motion such a steady purr.

The native state remains obscure

In its illusion of a present where

Sense makes sense of what may not even be there.
