Humans vs. Primates

The opposable thumbs and will power debates 

Many surmise as the only lines that separate humans from apes

However, I’ll ask just one question without refrain

Could 30,000 apes sit in a stadium and enjoy a 2 hour football game?

Schrödinger’s cat - 1935

Both dead and alive, a cat trapped in a box

Trapped with a radioactive atom, a hammer, Geiger counter, and vial of poison fastened with locks

Theories of quantum mechanics debated in 1935

When Schrödinger and Einstein wrote, to this conclusion they arrived

The hammer brakes a glass vial

When will radiation spike the Geiger counter’s dial

Killing the cat, or not

See the paradox?

We don’t know the cat’s fate until we open the box

Known unknowns, zero, one, or both, fate chose

Radiation, nine lives, broken glass, poison, hammer, gravity, who knows?

Understanding

Puzzle pieces in an unassembled heap

Flipped and grouped to form a boarder neat 

The frame, the start of one’s belief

A collection of unknown shapes defined provides relief

How everything is connected, our purpose is to try and fail

Colors, patterns, and answers write our life’s tale

As more is known than not, and our work is near completion 

Once our purpose ends, we face deletion.

Dime the Hooper made bail

Dime the hooper just made bail
Hours with no food or representation, weeks in jail
Arrested for no reason other than being in the wrong place
Trying to stay positive, despite bruises to his ego and face
When they dragged him across the asphalt, his flesh ripped and bled
Knees in his back and kicks to the ribs, Dime didn't hear what they said
Slurs, curses, and maybe Miranda rights?
Sitting in a cell with dull florescent lights
Dime wondered, why him again?
He was just shooting hoops in the park with his friend.
A few days of missed work and bruises on his face
Explainations, lawyer fees, stares, whispers, disgrace
As the church prays for him, his family offers hugs and support
But he found himself alone in both jail and court
The bail bondsman grined when accepted his fee
Bail debt and a criminal record feels like a noose slung from a tree.
