My warps and curves
defy gravity.
I am...
The String.

The quantum and relativity guys
must shrink their myopic views
until they encounter

my reality.

For I am caught in the turbulence
of chaotic space and time
but you cannot prove
or disprove
my existence.

So how can you expect me to follow
all of your worldy rules?

I am a dancing subatomic particle,
and if you have great vision,
you might be lucky enough to imagine me
in 3D.

But though you may never
really see me,
you can know me
by my actions.

Perhaps when I decay,
the forces of my nature
might allow you some day to see
my individual
tiny vibrating strand of energy.

And if you are so fortunate,
then you might even know

The Totality.

Thanks for highlighting your favorite part, dear SEA.

LOL at you Duncan. I'll give you a glass of Pinot Noir if you can prove you exist, and aren't just an imaginary poetic device.

LOL at you, Duncan. Why do you even need a cover? DON'T have to answer that here...or anywhere else for that matter.

Sharon? oops, I do have a photo, but it didn't come out very good, so I'll try to take some more next week. And thanks for the van Gogh comment. I've always thought we would have gotten along well. But remember, some people thought he was a maniac. LOL

OK, you asked for it.
Hmm, Sharon, is there one on ebay? LOL.

Actually, as I understand it, the string theory attempts to unite the theories of relativity and quantum physics.

*sigh* I just love PHYSICS buzz words.

Yup, THE theory . . .

Kacy,  you have stretched your string
rather taut with your totality.  Very
creative write, enjoyed!

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

Susan, another one who enjoys studying  Physics? I'm not saying I understand any of it, just that I enjoy studying all the theories that describe our physical world.


Dixie, I am easily inspired. Even the dust on this PC screen might get me going. LOL

hello msflame, and thank you for reading. Glad to assist another muse with an idea.
