A massless particle
passes through the void
with no resistance.
As if you could escape.
This happens because nothing
can be still,
and because, for the lonely,
direction is meaningless.
What if every moment
is a best guess ––
the baffling way two particles
can become entangled
so that they appear to communicate
instantaneously?
I try "instantly"
then "forever."
Ask what it means
to pass through the void.
