Lightning strikes the highest point

Lightning strikes the highest point

In a field

Indifferent to

The nature of its presence

It just needs to be there

Waiting to be hit

Before the earth returns fire

Twice as brightly

Is everything explainable

In terms of electrons?

Are photons

More than the name

Of a torpedo on Star Trek

Are people an exercise

In biomechanics

Illuminated as

Abstractions

In a branch of Metaphysics

Does the Universe smile

Whenever we have a mind

To consider notions

Of time and space

There is life in Schroedinger

Who may have been a postman

With a black and white cat

Let out of the bag.

Philosophy questions,

It is notional,

Not to be confused with fact

Which barely exists

Inside a tutorial

Identity is only as fixed

As the point from which

It is viewed

Everything is changeable

When an alternative becomes

A universal

The bottom drops out of the

Concept

And the cat runs free

Of bi-laws

Hanging out in trees

Until a rescuer is found

Unbound by theories of existence

As responsible adults

Would never choose Quantum physics

To rule the world

When a delusional dictator

Will blow it all to hell

In an instant.
