The String Quartet

The braided motions of space

Of memory

The knotted histories of each of us

Together as One

Intricate paths and orbits

Of our lives

 

We bounce off each other

As we greet with a word or a tone

Our histories shouting loudly in

Our behaviors, subliminal and subtle

 

We knot our spacetime waves 

Sometimes parallel to each other

Sometimes perpendicular to each other

Sometimes bombarding each other

Retreating or recoiling in 

Disgust or Fear

 

The indefinite, the uncertain

Is found in our interpretations

Or our own and others' behaviors

The truth, no one knows

The constellations of our perceptions

And interpretations make for a cloudy sky

Full of stardust, wisdom, and fantasy

 

All true

All coming together

All one

 

Can we hear amidst the noise and motion?

The particles and waves

The gorgeous combinations of our atoms

Our colors as diverse as any tapestry

Our personalities like snowflakes

Each unique and individual

But similar to each other and different

 

Both And

Not Either Or
