Now that we live
in a futuristic present,
scientists do know
why
"You say goodbye, and I say hello."
It's only
an emergent property
of quantum entanglement.
Where once, two
made contact,
their states remain joined,
never to ruin, but
forever destined
to counteract—
like the
forbearant half
of a flipped golden coin,
or a marriage
which has gone bad—
but not worse
than the incoherent
roars of traffic
in the rest of the universe.
