schrodinger's letter

Comparing the fear of waiting for a college decision to the cat in Schrodinger's experiment: existing in two states of fear and hope at once, but unable to feel either until the decision arrives.

i come to the realization

not me

i 

am 

the 

cat? 

a gun is pointed at my head

the future depends on 

you, electron

your butterfly equations the hand on the stamp of fate

i 

am 

a 

heartbeat

will my blood be spilled?

the clock counts down 

in two states

unless they already collapsed

i 

am

a 

blank

stumbling upstairs in the dark

if time travel existed

i could prepare for the blow

but

i realize i have been waiting for this my whole life.
