The Quality of a Quantum

By Richard Mather

I am nothing and you are nothing.

but the relation between us

isn’t nothing.

Infinitesimally small differences

establish the continuity

between our discrete bodies.

Intensive or extensive?

Unity thought as plurality

or plurality as unity?

I can’t decide.

(Either way we take up space and time.)

We are two thought as one

and one thought as two.

If a complete synthesis

is beyond us, remember this:

In God’s infinite understanding

we know just a little,

and a little is sometimes enough.
