Array ( [sid] => 107436 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Quantum Suicide [time] => 2005-10-10 11:03:05 [hometext] => If physicists are to be believed, people are wasting their time trying to kill themselves. [bodytext] => She watched me sleep
watched my last breath
watched me wake up
this morning again
What just happened?
pray tell,
I asked from her
I wanted to know

Well, you see
the universe,
at your thought of dying,
split itself in two
She said and carried on
In one, you died
in another you survived
thats just what happened to you

The one world
where you are dead
you will never taste
the pleasure of success
of your fruitless act
In the universe
where you survive
There's just no escape from life

Quantum Suicide

Multiverses? An interesting thought, but I'd refrain from using it against someone who really is suicidal . . .

Keep writing,

Intresting in theory, but laughable in reality.

I agree with N_F I do think this is a good write.

I actually see duality in this poem of a more spiritual sense that i will not explain for that is not what i think you intended to say.

Hey J., you know I am glad that you are thinking about things like that... Although even scientists aren't sure about anything, we have to believe in something... In my case I don't care that much about the issue of parallel worlds or whatever, for I have no perception of them... So why to bother...
Good luck,
Alex
