Entanglement
A stream of photons hits a sheet of glass;
no reason some reflect while most go through.
A certain depth allows them all to pass;
the ones that go before must give a clue.
The photons harmonize, their gift is art.
They love to spread as waves and keep in touch.
Send two entangled photons far apart,
if one is read, the other knows as much.
Yet no communication goes between,
for nothing can exceed the speed of light.
And why do random photons trampoline
from glass, while random others last the flight?
Though Einstein thought that God does not throw dice,
seems Lucifer took contrary advice.

Photon Revelation
Photons are the highest form of light
Emitted from above and from within
Time nears, when souls shall ignite
After photons illuminate man's sins

Flight of Fancy
A mood evolves that's quietly disruptive,
a phantom in periphery of sight.
Innocuous and pleasantly inductive,
before a sudden unexpected bite.
An undefined and tantalizing call,
an ache that fits as closely as a glove;
This universe's strongest force of all,
is carried by compelling waves of gluons.
The gluons bind the quarks inside the protons;
although quarks's spelt like lark, it rhymes with hawk.
More Herculean than the puny photons,
if photons coo like doves, then gluons squawk.
The strong force smashes other three to smidgens,
like goshawks mash cute doves and larks and pigeons.

Ordinary photons do have spin, they have a notion of helicity so they spin around their direction on motion.

An Old Man's Vision
The light, the light, the light!
The energetic photons
so necessary for our sight
and everything we do.
The stars of night, the sun so bright
the gossamer moon's reflected light
they will be there
as long as we can be aware
as long as sight maintains itself.
Of course no power, pelf or might
can guarantee our right to sight.

Burning Blue
Photons lacerate the air in waves of ev'ry hue,
plunging through successfully except for burning blue.
Motes of dust and water drops play cricket with blue balls,
weaving veils of endless blue in vast concentric shawls.
When the rays are vertical they drill through skin and bone,
drain all sheen from vibrant green, steal water from dry stone.
Then all life is forced to heed light's power to subdue.
The mantle of the victor is a fire of flaming blue.

Richard Feynman's Woodpecker
Under a cloudy sky
A hammering woodpecker
Drilled and drummed
On a tree branch
With her chisel-like bill tip.
Then a physicist stepped out
Of his house into the haze
Billowing over the street.
He scratched his bald head
And brooded and pondered
Contemplated and thought
Of the opaque secret of light.
Well, he said, nowadays
Of course we already know
That light can be
Both a particle and a wave,
A stream of arcane photons
Or a recondite river of rays:
Electromagnetic radiation.
But I still
Do not understand it,
He muttered,
For this whole damned thing
Remains elusive and mysterious.
The problem is, he said,
That while sound waves
Propagate through the air
And surface waves in lakes
Or oceans travel in water,
Light can traverse through
Intergalactic nothing
Moving in straight lines
In the vacuum
Of empty space
Without a medium
As electromagnetic waves.
Now, how does this
Silly light do it?
How can it propagate
Without a medium?
And how does it know
Which way is straight?
And why is it a constant?
He asked, and nothing
Can travel faster
Than the speed of light,
That is to say almost
300,000 km per second.
And he suddenly
Remembered that once
Richard Feynman said:
Physicists do not
Really understand physics,
They just get used to it.
And so the physicist just kept
Wondering and scratching
His bald head
Under a cloudy sky.
A dense gray mist
Billowed then over the street
And a hammering woodpecker
Drilled and drummed
On a tree branch
With her chisel-like bill tip.

Sonnet 1: Hypothetical
If freshly cloned, with memories intact
Unable hence to occupy one ground
Our senses would not duplicate exact
the information beaming from around.
A plentitude of photons would collide
(Read physics to explain precisely how)
And steadily our shared thoughts would divide
To render subtle change in either brow.
But over time our paths may fly apart
So how could we be judged by any mind
Should one evolve an ever-loving heart
Whilst other shrunk like bitter dried-out rind.
Yet sadly I can see we must be built
On necessary pangs of senseless guilt.

Tis Delightful To Watch A Child Play
'Tis delightful to watch a child
play,
All alone but not getting bored,
Photons of glee, hearts they
hold,
Playing without a care in the
clay
I imagine I was like this once,
Without a hint of anger,
Free spirit, no sense of danger,
Just full of iridescent
innocence.
If only all life was like this,
Free of problems- mortal
strife,
But it cuts all with its knife,
So deep until of us nothing
there is.

Einstein and Society
Much of what Einstein had to say
remains unexplained
100 years later,
in terms of impact his ideas have on society.
First, we need to comprehend
he sought
to explain everything.
We know the familiar E=mc2;
what does it really mean?
Astounding at the time
but now common place;
the idea states that energy and matter interrelate;
and matter can be changed to energy and vice versa.
What's not understood well
by many is
that matter
in being transformed to energy
has a exponential multiplier.
For example a ball dropped from two feet
lands with 10 times the force of a ball
dropped from one foot.
Why?
Dense Uranium 235 has many many electrons
and matter released into energy has a mulitiplier effect
with interactive transmutation
and in the end
gives us the Atomic Bomb
which of course
draws us one step nearer the end.
But note,
the other little understood fact here-;
An atomic explosion is not matter expanding
but space itself multiplying!
Not stretching-growing;
New Space!
But how is this?
Space, hence, time is malleable.
Einstein Two;
If space itself expands then what about light?
This is where Einstein started.
What is the nature of light?
Newton said the speed of light can not be exceeded..
Einstein says yes it can. And we have black holes where light itself
is not only bent but extinguished
and objects do indeed exceed light speed.
More: Light and the photons light is composed of,
can be in two,
perhaps three places
at the same time.
astoundingly
the same is true too
for all matter.
Stop your head from spinning, sit back down
and ask how is this possible?
More; We use this too in everyday life, .
this given us by Einstein and quantum physics;
computers are quantum devices
based on electrons existing as 1's and 0's
off and on;
but, poorly understood
is that each positive electron 'knows'
whether its negative counterpart is off
or on.
What?
That is correct. Not only true for your computer,
but all electrons in All Of The Universe
knows whether its counter part
has switched signs
and will go
positive if it's counterpart goes negative.
This is happening right now
in this computer and
IN ALL THE
UNIVERSE.
Think of a magnet and iron shavings.
Now Space, Time and Electrons all exist in some medium,
which we Dark Energy and Dark Matter
which we now understand comprizes 90% of the universe
about which we know little or nothing.
This other Dark Universe
interracts with our universe everyday.
We can see the effects
on our planets and galaxies.
This is proven.
So what is going on here?
Enter Einsteins Theory of Gravity
Newton always said that the apple falls from the tree and hits the ground
because of gravity.
The earth pulls the apple down.
Not true.
The apple is not falling.
It is being pushed.
By Space itself.
The Sun is not pulling on Earth
The Sun is displacing Space
around the earth
causing it to fall toward the Sun
propelled by that same displaced space.
The train coming toward us is not being propelled,
the train engine moves through space displacing space
and space itself bends
pulling the train along.
The plane flies because space, not air, lifts it.
So space itself multiples and bends, so does time;
that is why I can leave earth
return years later
younger than when I left.
Time itself has been altered
and, because when I move though space
time is altered too.
Get another cup of tea
and come back, there's more.
Now;
If all this is true of gravity
explain
how can it be
that I pick up a pencil
and defy the full pull of Earth's gravity
Gravity must be very weak if this is so easy..
Am I stronger than Earth?
Patience: Here is Einstein's view:
If space is malleable and electrons know
and communicate with their kin
our universe therefore must not be round but flat and super thin.
For example, the universe of the fish, is separated by a super thin
surface, upon which a row boat floats;
these two different universes, occupy the same space,
and, one at least one
is is totally unaware of the other.
The row-boater is intelligent, and, of course is aware of the fish.
But the fish are not.
In the larger universe we are the fish.
Other universes exist in the same time and space
separated by super thin membranes.
Thus is born Membrane Theory, Son of Quantum Physics.
If this is all true,
then multiple universes perhaps millions can all exist
simultaneously.
Multiples of me and you, like our electrons exist
close by among Membrane Universes floating nearby.
That is why I can pick up the pencil
because the gravity here in my room-
in my universe-is being counteracted by gravity
from one nearby universe occupying the same space and time.
If, every so often, Membrane Universes collide
this is the Big Bang we all know so well.
That is how, likely,
our Universe began.
But how to prove these?
Most of this has already been proven, experimentally.
A Big Collider (Hayden) seeking final proof in all this
is being built in Switzerland.
It will offer proof
by speeding up photons to near light speeds,
letting them collide;
if one disappears from this universe
then it has gone
to the other universe close by;
or we can get unexpected results
and our universe is destroyed
and a black hole results
and eats us all alive.
Stay tuned.
Collision expected sometime in 2009.
But you know
if all of this is true,
then maybe there are ghosts
living near by too.
and please don't mention
UFO's.

No Pangs of Guilt
No pangs of guilt find reason's season, sin
Or virtue are judgemental values set,
Play games synaptic as mind's second bet -
Answers from which few gain obtain within.
N dimensions quantum photons spin
Ground here, sky there, both cloned, uncloned, forget
Same dreams as teams they memorised, and yet
Once here, now nowhere, thin edged wedge can twin.
Free heart can chart fresh start, spurn static din,
Grow, flow, know physics can't code kith, kin. Let
Understanding flowers; foreclosing fret,
In absence, presence, as a second skin.
Life's change range strange acrostic here can show
That little matters where two, sharing, grow...

The Glass On The Bar
Three bushmen one morning rode up to an inn,
And one of them called for the drinks with a grin;
They'd only returned from a trip to the North,
And, eager to greet them, the landlord came forth.
He absently poured out a glass of Three Star.
And set down that drink with the rest on the bar.
`There, that is for Harry,' he said, `and it's queer,
'Tis the very same glass that he drank from last year;
His name's on the glass, you can read it like print,
He scratched it himself with an old piece of flint;
I remember his drink -- it was always Three Star' --
And the landlord looked out through the door of the bar.
He looked at the horses, and counted but three:
`You were always together -- where's Harry?' cried he.
Oh, sadly they looked at the glass as they said,
`You may put it away, for our old mate is dead;'
But one, gazing out o'er the ridges afar,
Said, `We owe him a shout -- leave the glass on the bar.'
They thought of the far-away grave on the plain,
They thought of the comrade who came not again,
They lifted their glasses, and sadly they said:
`We drink to the name of the mate who is dead.'
And the sunlight streamed in, and a light like a star
Seemed to glow in the depth of the glass on the bar.
And still in that shanty a tumbler is seen,
It stands by the clock, ever polished and clean;
And often the strangers will read as they pass
The name of a bushman engraved on the glass;
And though on the shelf but a dozen there are,
That glass never stands with the rest on the bar.

Draanen
She wants to know more about this boy,
He wants to know more about this girl,
And like what is seen around us in the name of modern society!
But i am Draanen in the land of joy.
A random love,
A random poem,
A random story,
A random muse,
And like the joy of your heart!
But falling in love is part of us on this earth.

Fill A Bumper of Water
Fill a bumper of water that's pure from the spring,
Bright sparkling and clear as the glass,
And with rapture the joyous emotions we'll sing,
Which enliven our hours as they pass
We'll spurn the rude mirth of the wine-bibber's bowl,
While our Abstinence pleasures exceed it,
And we give you the Pledge with our heart and our soul,
Here's success to the cause and God speed it,
God speed it-God speed it,
Here's success to the Pledge, and God speed it.
Surrounded by virtue, by beauty, and youth,
Dear woman we drink to thy charms;
If we pledge thee in water, we pledge thee in truth
And we take thee with joy to our arms.
Go look at our homes and observe the glad smile,
What welcome on earth can exceed it,
Where affection thus greets us our cares to beguile,
Then success to the Pledge, and God speed it,
God speed it-God speed it,
Success to the Pledge and God speed it.
Tho' we boast not of wealth yet we gladly impart
To a brother a share of our store,
And we hail him with feelings of joy from the heart,
When the slave of Intemperance no more;
Our motto is sympathy, friendship and love,
And aid to a friend should he need it,
Our Charter's recorded by Angels above,
Then success to the Pledge and God speed it,
God speed it-God speed it,
Success to the Pledge and God speed it.

dunked on a bunch caught ali-oops on the rest of them
I got the lean on the "J" now
it really don't matter if we play in arenas or playgrounds
throw it around the back so it look fly when I pass
just to avoid the block go high off the glass
I'm killing them out there they gon' have to bring caskets
this all I hear after the baskets *swoosh*
but I ain't even warm up
and still pull from where it counts for 3 points and leave the form up
you must be insane if you give me the lane or perimiter
the crossover will sprain every limb on ya

thought I could come off the baseline and jump over seven-footers
soon as you step out the locker room you now can see
how live it gets in 2003

I'm the crowd favorite and I believe the fans
love the way I finger roll it with either hand
my handles pull it through presses plus I can play the lane
and block shots like bulletproof vestes
I often be found in the paint waiting for I miss
so I can slam it back off the rebound
then I show off with class
look the other way when I throw off a pass
call it when I go off the glass

Watch us fall
We can take some train
Down to the sea
We are glass, we are glass
We are real you can touch
Just for now
And then say
hey you, which way is down
We are glass, we are glass
We are strong we run though
We have time
And to you Im just

We are glass, we are glass
We are cold
Were not supposed to cry
But its all just a thought
So here am i
We are glass, we are glass

Impressions of the floors inviting
Stay with me, stay with me
They run past
With telephones they scream
Well would you turn all this down
Turn all this down
You are replaced you are you
And our dreams are real
And dreams are all we need
We are glass, we are glass
We slip down
And old eyes dont cry for me
Cause I doubt Im and I doubt you
And never never going to doubt
We are glass, we are glass

Impressions of the floors inviting
Stay with me, stay with me
They run past
With telephones they scream
Well would you turn all this down
