Your heart has a question to ask,
My love
Come and sit down with me.
I can explain things the best that I can
My love
Because I truly do want you to see.
You've asked why we can't be at one
My love
And you pine for what the answer will be.
.
There was just us in the beginning of time
My love
I gave to you endlessly.
It went on like this millions of years
My love
But there was someone you were longing to be.
You asked to be more like myself
My love,
To have the power to love endlessly.
And not just continue to take from
My love
But give it all back to me.
As soon as I give you this chance,
My love
To conquer this world on your own,
My love
You created a moment in time,
My love
A moment that we could define,
My love
And without history before or future to come,
Existence turned on its axis, and from that was sprung,
A million shards of stardust with delicate strings,
Cast out into the universe to become every thing.
.
You deserve ultimate perfection,
My love
You asked to work for this on your own,
But things don't go in just one direction,
My love
Those delicate shards of stardust may stray far and wide,
Adventuring life,
Developing pride,
Forgetting their roots the farther away,
But those strings will begin to tighten one day,
And all the burden and strain and strife that you bear,
Will only make you more able to share,
In the absolute perfection of being aware,
Of the intricate depth of
My love
.
You will have to get to the end of the rope
My love
And then you will actually see,
That it's more like an elastic band
My love
Drawing you right back to me.
The pieces collect,
And lock back to place,
In this beautiful vessel in a beautiful place,
And we'll call that place heaven, to paint a picture in your mind,
And when it's time...
.
You and I together, will simply be
My love
Where the lover and loved become free
My love
You will come back to me
My love
And together we will love endlessly.

Too bad we can't have both; but no,
it's one or the other. That's the trouble
with gods and Bosons: Admit one spirit
and you're no more than a Planck length
from the soul; measure position
and your divine momentum is gone,
deader than deadest poisoned cat.
If God (The God) were God He'd surely
be laughing as Jess & I tried to explain
quantum entanglement to each other,
several superpositions removed
from grasping how causality is preserved
and He'd muse at our suffering
surely in the face of First World fascism
and conspiratorial delight of ignorance;
Jesus would forgive us the hubris
of our collective sartorial malaise:
He'd writhe there painfully but patiently
on the cross w/ bile & gall while we
scrawled out partial differential equations
on the backs of cocktail napkins
and pretended that Lye groups—
sublime Algebra—hooked up
with the Standard Model in their own
perverted and slutty way—yes! Christ
would redeem the heretical pronouncements
on this dark matter,
spare us Pauline judgments—in abhorrent
reality of Time & Space (that's how
He rolls, I guess);
Zeus would just hurl thunderbolts, jealous
as ever of the atom smashers and
their Olympian acolytes' true lightning;
And what about Buddha? He's so full
of himself and compassion, bloated
by enlightenment he may not notice how
much rice we'd had on the way to these
Poison Arrow questions. So what's another
******* rebirth if it's needed? Too late
now for transcendence or transforming
Yoda-like into the Force;
Vishnu in Absolute Now says
Nothing's left but a bunch of fractured
protons, lovely alpha particles and
their asymmetric cousins, ever inward
but ever outward as cosmos go. One day
maybe we'll stop colliding and listen
to the whispers of Revelation—
that is, if we have the science, the ears
and the time.
We never asked of Einstein, sadly,
his divinity not being well established,
and his opinion souring
with the passing of the nonlinear,
the non-local and the grandiose—
Albert may still chime in though,
may be watching from that spooky
neighborhood universe
we seek but eternally dismiss.
We exist with the reality we have, not
the one we want. Until then it's an either/or
we must accept, because we are serious folk
who know gods and Bosons coexist only
among the superstitious and ill-informed.
You can't mince words when there are
so many atoms to split.

Collapsed wave function flashes
Into existence*
