String Theory Poem by Amy Chai

String Theory

Rating: 3.5


Very small things defy the laws of physics
That which cannot be divided is nothing but space
or light, or energy

Time bends and weaves the cloth of life
and of eternity, but returns to an empty garment
or ashes, or dust

We are made of nothing but song, curled up
in so many dimensions, and we tremble with fear
and love, and pain

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Strings are unimaginably tiny. Our finite minds cannot comprehend the idea of multiple dimensions, but that is okay. String theory resonates.
