Passively Aggressive 3rd Degree Burns at Breakup Time
She might have been stroking
She might have been stroking
her forearm like a cat before
She was stroking her forearm like a cat then
I recall
I recall her stroking her forearm like a cat
because she was standing in front of the stove
She was standing in front of the stove
with the kettle blaring
She was standing in front of the stove
with the kettle blaring and she was
stroking her arm like a cat
I said Aren’t you going to turn off the stove
instead of standing there stroking
your forearm like a cat? Can’t you
hear the kettle blaring?
When I’m through I’m throwing this water at you
she said
And that’s why we’re here
The Wave Of The Electron
Quantum wavefunction —
Only a wave when you’re not looking ―
Different electron systems
have different functions
says the lowercase psi symbol
a function of (x)
telling you all you need to know
of a wave’s shape
but not telling you
anything
what shapes mean
