Quantum Foam
. . . the quantum foam of virtual particles that blip in and out of existence and prevent empty space from being truly empty.
—KATRINA MILLER, New York Times
Look closer — no, closer. Not your hand, not
the color of your skin and not the cells,
closer, forget everything you were taught
about molecules, atoms with their shells
of whirling particles, the churn of things
not really things, where the universe tells
its story beyond our words, beyond thinking,
beyond metaphor — the breath of God,
the stage where existence dances and sings.
