POEM

Vacuum Fluctuations

It is a Mixture
That confront
Your eyes, in the World
Beneath the one
Your eyes see.
A single photon
Goes through two slits
Positioned close to each other
Making your Mind
Spin in sheer disbelief.
What you see
May not always be
What is the Case.
Zero is composed of -1 and +1
