schrödinger's cat

schrödinger's cat


would you really like to see?
your cat's state, what could it be?
or would you rather be in a bliss
in innocence and remain happily as is.

maybe she's dead all along
or perhaps just sleeping but not for long
or is she dead before you even started
will you choose not to know and live for a hundred.

you really want to take a peek?
radiation will surely leak.
can kill poor little kitty
and destroy everything in a jiffy.

but wait, do you have the key?
to kitty's box, her sanctuary
will you look for it? will you risk it?
if you have it, will you use it?

if you choose to know, and see a dead cat
would you accept her death and find another?
would you blame yourself and forever wonder?
or would you put her back in the box and pretend you didn't alter?
