Sometimes I think about the structure of atoms and how difficult it can be to tell the difference between me and the cantaloupe I just ate and where I end and the sunlight begins. And I wonder if maybe when you kiss me you leave behind pieces of yourself on my tongue and that’s why I remember exactly how you taste no matter how long it’s been. Sometimes I think about quantum entanglement and how two different particles can be inextricably and inexplicably tied to each other no matter their physical distance. And I wonder if maybe a tiny piece of your left iris is entangled with an atom in the muscle of my cheek and that’s why I can’t help but smile when you look at me. Sometimes I think about our understanding of DNA and how so much of it we call “junk” because we don’t know what it does. And I wonder if maybe years from now they’ll be able to read my base pairs like a novel and some scientist will be able to look at them and say “This, just here, this is how we know the subject fell in love.”
