In our time of assembled atoms
while traversing the surface of this planet
we decided to trust the code
inscribed inside double helixes
and got so commingled
that disentanglement
required reading Houdini’s biography
while on the other side of the universe
a newly married couple cuddled
in their wedding bed
while listening to outbound whales
breach the bay and splash
the surfaces of different worlds.
