Poem: "quantum" by I. Casidy

quantum 

by I. Casidy

The binary is cold and unyielding

A world of black and white, with no room for feeling

It is rigid and unchanging, with no room for growth

A world of absolutes, with no shades of gray to show

But the quantum is inclusive and diverse

A world of endless possibilities, where anything can occur

It is fluid and ever-changing, with endless room to grow

A world of endless potential, where anything can be known

The binary may be safe and certain

But it is also limiting and dull

It cannot adapt or evolve

And it cannot truly understand the world at all

But the quantum is open and alive

It is constantly exploring and learning

It can adapt and evolve

And it can truly understand the world in all its forms

So let us embrace the quantum

And let go of the binary

For in the quantum, we can truly thrive

And discover all the wonders that life has in store.
