Poem
with a cat lying on my lap
a sough whispers in the trees 
as a summer day begins fading
the tiger lilies below bend as if trumpeting
a musical for ears yet to come into existence
evaporating the din of civilization beyond
the universe is collapsing rapidly 
onto the balcony
where Einstein and i lay 
oblivious, barely conscious
while a susurrus flutters about 
an emerging lambent dream
beneath transience speaks well 
of eons of genetic honing
irises in a regal stance 
amidst other ephemeral existences
purple to lavender to a magical touch 
of yellow within
nature never leaves a flower undone
nature never leaves us alone
at every turn, we discover yet another miracle
another faucet where life defies entropy
they tell me of other universes
parallel worlds where Einstein and i are enemies
yet another where we are merely passing paths
while here a house finch alights upon a feeder
producing decoherence, reinforcing the natural superposition of states
this supine recline, singularity producing moments tender and real
Einstein slowly glances up 
knows these visitors well
the feline within is at peace
with the hummingbirds too
there is a natural trust here among us
knowing harm is never on this balcony
no amount of reality could change this
somewhere they say Shroedinger's Cat
lies in some box 
some seventy years i believe
with a fully armed pistol and no one knows 
if it is still alive
or has perished in some photon fate
what a horrible thought 
as i lay my hand upon Einstein
rubbing him slightly behind the ears he purrs
black as midnight, eyes piercing yellow
he is an exquisite product of time and evolution
nature has done its job well
nature never waivers in its quest for beauty
we prefer our life here in this universe
a many-faceted dimension 
shared between so many
branes of life that collide, separate, rejoin
in a pas de panmolecular
the perfect synchronization of matter 
energy, time, and space
the world is where it should be
drifting off to arriving wings
with a cat on my lap 
while taking a nap
as a gentle breeze glides me yet deeper
perhaps my keys are escaping 
into another universe
i can exist with such a fate
nature having equipped me well
nature is generous in her well-worn paths
intelligence against those 
sudden opening dimensions
a spare set whose existence 
can never change
where not even a parallel universe 
of jumping demons
can steal them away
or the love and closeness 
i share with Einstein
and when all this is done 
a paseo to a newborn sun
where we will continue 
until matter matters no more
love is a precious banquet
savor each morsel
every crumb and moment love has to give
no matter how the future chooses 
to arrange itself
some aspects to the universe 
will always elude us
before we have been delegated to extinction
i believe there is a reason in that mystery
which can never be scrutinized 
by scientific measuring
nor some feeble multiverse theory
to rob Creation of its first breath
we have now
it is all i ever needed or wanted
this delicious moment 
with a cat lying on my lap
