For Scarlett Thomas
No clear reality
but a smear of particles -
and different
probabilities
at once
if not observed
All exists
in a state
of all differences
until
the outer Observer
collapses
the smeared wave
that becomes
our universe
Out of all
probabilities
the Observer
fixates the original
particle
into
one reality: ours
Reject that
and you're left
with infinite worlds
and no externality
and no collapse:
all probabilities then
exist
out there and
every possible universe
is parallel
to ours
