Light is a wave and a particle
Too?
It does not matter
If a particle’s partiality
Parts with the classical concept
Of duality.
A wave can be a particle
And matter, or matter not.

The behaviour of the quantum
Is unpredictable in the extreme
So firing particles through a mountain
Isn’t all that it may seem?

Like position and momentum,
Or like photons and matter,
Waving to a particle
Leaves light in tatters.

Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle meets Schrödinger’s cat
What matters is the wave
And, that is that.
Particle duality and a scratchy cat
Resolve matters amicably on a particle-mat

The presence of consciousness lightens up the room
As wave turns to particle and disappears too soon;
Looking at the stars and waving at the past
I think maybe, just maybe, this magic will last.
