people going to and away from each other
experiments in science and theatre, heisenberg
watches his electrons from a director's seat
the more he knows where they are
the less he knows where they're going.
it comes from
us and
so
it must be this
way--
a certain bundt cake up in flames,
comes out just fine in a parallel world.
a sweater unravels on jupiter and
you catch the thread on a hangnail.
a hole in the wall
leads to lands of ointment
where all the flies collect.
and people
will always love people
who are not there,
who disappeared from
a present time,
when their future was most
certain.
they rule a universe
of trade-offs:
what is it?
what will it become?
