On the Constancy of Fluxes

 
It's only natural that

Planck's constant goes

Against the lay of things.

After all, it's just a multiple

Of the grain of the information,

Transmitted universally

And implemented locally,

That constitutes the universal sense

Made insubstantial substance:

Water here, loaves  there,

A few fish for the seal.

A neutrino serves as Mass,

Escapes the chalice wherefrom

All is poured, for our

Transmogrified moment of

Resonance with the modulator

That all energetic languages

Decode to eternal novelty.

The sun will rise tomorrow,

Speaking in tongues.


- David W. Mitchell
