God’s Uncertainty

By Peter Venable

 

Space-time coordinates: an ocean, midday.

Shore barely visible. Surface choppy,

blustery, foamy, white-capped.

 

A white gull floats in a trough,

appearing and disappearing

between swells, behaving

 

the way an infinitesimal elusive quark

pops and bursts from our snooping lenses.

The gull: the more one precisely measures its position,

 

the less its location can be gauged or even predicted.

The ocean-metaphor or quantum manifestation?

The gull – a feathered molecule or a quaver

 

riding on waves? Is its bobbing entangled

with a gull a mile away? Or one light year away

in the ocean above as a gull floats

 

on a planet’s sea around Alpha Centauri?

And is our particle planet

spinning around a nuclear sun,

 

popping in and out of vista

under some cosmic being’s

supreme subatomic microscope?
