Palm or Passion, Wave or Particle

They say in quantum physics that a particle

is a wave and a wave a particle

and it all depends on how you look and when

but if you don’t look for the answer,

if you let paradox be and mystery win

it is both at the same time all at once

Jesus and his little royal palm parade

with branches waving and people shouting

everyone focuses their eyes and minds

like electron microscopes to see it

but looking there and then means

you only see the particle of fabricated greatness

but look another way and see the wave of humility

the ripple fall from the temporal throne,

the tsunami cross, the end that begins everything

I suppose the trick is not to look at all

but let it be and he will both ride to glory

and die in abject misery,

and one will be the other all at the same time

the cat will be dead and alive in the dark box

and you’ll have to live in this puzzlement

and be both dead and alive yourself
