The product of matter times light
equals something far beyond the sum
of their parts (if we knew what those were)
a question incandescently answered
by selected sudden instants
of time,
and written in unnamed colors
so unexpectedly right
you can forget to breathe;
a random unraveling
of particles or waves,
science has no name for what this is
it's a synergy of secrets
beyond parameters of ordinary sight,
it's a matter of mystery
when you multiply by light.
