The quantum mechanics of rehearsals
getting the words right
sputtering on about mathematical equivalence . . .
A tale of two theories discovered independently . . .
A decorative fire escape
and you step up to the plate
thoughtful along the parapet
tap dancing with borrowed chewing gum . . .
The average walker will have much to say
given the tugging fortnight
already vehement . . .
Look, it could be worse . . .
The planets have been duly noted in the writeup . . .
You were told . . . and told again . . . and again . . .
Throwing a tizzy will register disapproval
with the misled, pale and flummoxed . . .
This idea of putting your foot down
is a far cry from a ritual cleansing,
ya know what I mean? . . .
Yes, you, in all your condescension . . .
Face it as another instance of serial-whistling . . .
