Einstein said there would be days like this.

This fall scientists announced that they had put a half dozen beryllium atoms into a "cat state."



These atoms were each spinning clockwise and counterclockwise at the same time. Moreover, like miniature Rockettes they were all doing whatever it was they were doing together, in perfect synchrony. Should one of them realize, like the cartoon character who runs off a cliff and doesn't fall until he looks down, that it is in a metaphysically untenable situation and decide to spin only one way, the rest would instantly fall in line, whether they were across a test tube or across the galaxy.

I been leaning pretty hard on my own understanding

Irrational rationalist that I am

It take a good mind f*ck to keep me balanced

Double minded that I am

I think about my anger

mindless acts of violence

And my despair
And my hope



I hope for miracles

Chanting mystic sylabels
can spare the world from the evil cloud of men and ideologies, isms,
schisms, jismms and madness that is done so cheerfully in the name and image of mighty smighty gods

it is what is happening in my world
Here kitty kitty
