Spooky Action
Ken Carroll 1957 (Biloxi)
We are stardust
You are beautiful atoms
put together
We share
spacial proximity
we are entangled
We were destined
to meet regardless
of time or place
We have been
bound together
Since the Big Bang
A change in you
is instantaneously
felt by me
If you go left
I would
light years away
tilt to the right
Einstein called it
spooky action
at a distance
Spin
and I’ll
counter spin
Nothing is forever
Except atoms
and love
Our bodies are
only atoms wrapped
inside a sunbeam
you are all
wave particles
when I close my eyes
We are bound up
roped and swaddled
in space time
My atoms love yours
it’s biochemistry
I’m a poet and an ion
looking to join with your soul
We love in quantum passion
we discovered the subatomic
eternity is this moment
Brown nipples dimpling
our bodies float
in small solar winds
We make love with
each molecule of desire
we are
Inextricably
inexplicably
Linked ♾
