Optical musing

- - -
I.

Sparks, twinkling.
Spectrum of colors.
Soaring over the valley of
Clouds in dancing waves.
Then down they drift, drift,
Drift until the afterglow
Where it may vanish evanescent
Or fade, fade into the hazy night.

II.

One or the other identity
Either way
It can bounce right back
Or be deflected
Or disappear into the depth
Or come out on the other side
Then the question becomes
Where
Or how
Or how much
Or when
Or why
Or what if

III.

Would you like it done
Macroscopically,
Microscopically,
Quantum mechanically,
Or medium-rare with a dash of thyme?
