Featured Poet: Brian Oarr with "Quantum Effects on Love"

So, I got to thinking about solid matter;
all things being held together electromagnetically
by photons of light rallying like tennis balls
between racket atoms of opposite electrical charge.
And I said, "Yup, that's how love works!"

Aren't lovers arrayed in possible simultaneous states
until acted upon by some outside infatuation?
Attraction a moment to moment subatomic entanglement?
There's your spooky action at a distance!
Perhaps, the universe really does play dice with human hearts.

     Random fluctuation palpitations in a quantum space,
     probabilities of possibility tending toward embrace.


**I just started reading Oarr's work, and I really like his stuff! I don't believe he's published anywhere, but you can check him out at hello poetry.
