Seen and unseen

(written today - as I walked into Fairbank - and now)

 

A bridge is a bridge, eroding.

a road, a road eroding.

The grains of pavement

washing off as it rains,

like the flours of shedded skin

wafting through all our homes.

 

Our eyes, our eyes

take in that band of wavelengths

which take a picture to our mind.

 

But down there - in the unseen

quantum scale of grains, of dust, of raindrops -

time is something alien -

as anything not observed - not recognized

by the calibration of  the 5 senses we have, or more.

 

Light moves too fast - for our gigantic senses

to make sense of it's detail.

A particle turned into a wave

transmitted

and restored to a particle,

or a particle moving too fast to be observed,

a stretched-out particle doing (wavy-like) things,

 

or a wave/particle ?

 

'Time' (relative change)

is moving faster down there

within the grains, within the raindrops

in light moving across billions of light years of space.
