The Cat That Is/Not

holotropic breathing  
dressed in ong”s hat  

safe warm  
secure in the egg  
 
chaotic thoughts  
invade  
 
panic  
sets  
in  
 
am i alive?  
 
or  
dead  
or  
am i both?  
 
is life or  
death affected by  
an outside observer?  
 
(quit  staring at me quahog)  
 
quaternary quantum quarks quiz  
 
is the kitty  
alive  
or  
dead  
or  
both  
or  
neither?  
 
does it matter  
if i look in the box?  
 
does the fact that  
i take a peek  
affect the outcome?  
 
quaternary quarks quest  
 
if i sneak a look  
and the cat is dead  
did i kill her  
or was she already  
dead?  
 
if someone else  
looks is the  
creature still dead  
or alive?  
 
quotidian quantum questions  
 
is the contents  
of the box  
a realm  
 
of infinitely  
possible kitties  
or is there  
 
only one poor  
lonely/dead  
kitten?  
 
quadratically quaffed quetzal  
 
does it matter  
or wave?  
 
if Schrödinger  
knew the answer  
of course  
he would have shared it  
 
or  
not  
 
i know the answer  
or  
i know not  
or  
both  
or  
neither  
 
quixotic quarantined quagga  
 
if you want/need  
to know  
why haven’t  
you  
opened the box?  
 
hurry! the  
kitty is waiting  
or not  
 
confused?  
 
queazy?  
quaking?  
chaotically quivering?  
 
quit quietly quail
