Schrödinger’s cat is open to doubt

· by · in dVerse, free verse, poetry. ·


a brief encounter is a first

a brief encounter is
  a performance that takes place
  as an imaginary scenario
  where the artist’s grandmother
  meets with Karl Marx
a brief encounter is for them

a brief encounter is the education
  of a patient on an acute
  medical problem

a brief encounter is a musical installation
  in Manchester Piccadilly
  about time and travel
  and all those relationships
  that begin and end in
a brief encounter
  is still  a brief encounter
  and has not yet turned
  into a romance or a rejection or a loss
a brief encounter
  is the Schrodinger‘s equation
  and the Schrodinger‘s cat

a brief encounter is open to
     doubt?

At dVerse Sam wants us to do list poetry using googlism . I have selected a few of phrases generated by using “a brief encounter” and re-arranged them slightly. I also added line-breaks.

  1. ha. i like much…the grandmother and karl marx line is funny…ha…schrodingers cat as well…what an intriguing philosophy you know….dfe open to doubt…smiles.

  2. Very well done… I like especially:
    ” has not yet turned
      into a romance or a rejection or a loss”
    –an advantage of a brief encounter, I guess. LOL.

  4. ha – schrödingers cat sure open to doubt… and karl marx as well…ha… very cool take björn… a brief encounter is def. open to develop into lots of things..

  7. Love this one, Bjorn, smiles, daydreams, philosophies, & thanks for doing the recitation for us; always deepens/heightens the experience. Do you ever Google your own name? That is a gas too.

  8. Isn’t it great that we are encouraged to play with blocks, phrase blocks, letter lists, anything goes.

  10. Wow. Nice. Love your initial phrase: “a brief encounter.” Never would have thought of something like that for the prompt. Thanks for sharing!

  12. a brief encounter is the education
      of a patient on an acute
      medical problem
    There’s something strangely disturbing about that. So many possibilities contained in a brief encounter–some good, some not so much. Excellent!

  17. “and all those relationships
      that begin and end in
    a brief encounter
      is still  a brief encounter”
    So true and such a fertile seed phrase. Well done.

  18. “ and has not yet turned
      into a romance or a rejection or a loss”

    Whole books have been written on that topic! I adore when I can hear a poet recite their own work – and it is a triple pleasure when they have an “accent”. 😉 (American voices are so boring)

  25. This is absolutely brilliant! I love the way you compacted the long line length Googlisms into several sub-lines, and the progression from the real to the certainly imaginary to the uncertain. A tour-de-force.

  26. I never thought that I would read a poem that included a play in which I performed as a teenager, and Svhrodinger’s cat. The wondrous monstrosity that is the Internet is played out in its entirety, right here. Kudos to you!
