the quantum box

the quantum box
holds superposed
a pussycat
with cute pink nose
who is both dead
and not right now
and no one knows
unless, until
we lift the lid
(or hear meow)

(except I know,
because I switched
the poison capsule
for a pill
of extra-strength
placebo grade
- if particle
decays, it will
do nothing much!
But still, let's
pray. Poor pussycat
does not enjoy
such play)
