Today's poem is by Rae Armantrout
Made Short
1
Like us, the quanta
spend most of their timein limbo
where time isn't
theirsand there is nothing
to acquireuntil nothing
sends them flyingand they get
realized.
2In impact studies, crash
courses, tell-alls.
3In the dream,
I was led to believe
that memorabilia
would fill the canyon, rubble
I could walk across
unharmed
