Occam's Retort


Competing infinities,

which one to choose

 

Existential polarities,

exchanging their views

 

Superpositioned,

anthropic in scope

 

The tradeoff endemic,

whose difference elopes

 

Twin parallel universes

push and then pull

 

Existing in quantum,

the vacuum is full

 

Symbiotic in concept,

his razor now sharp

 

As we search for their meaning

—ever lost in the dark

 

(Villanova University: March, 2021)
