needed doing, what
would I do?
Without an observer
to despise
or enjoy me,
would my need to deploy one
make me chattel
or deity?
For a ghost,
there's no such thing
as friction
(though of course, I'm
just guessing);
Likewise,
for a photon,
no time passes
as it wends and twists
its way
through the infinite
vacuum of space.
If what I resist most
is just emptiness
and void,
how would
not resisting it feel
any different?
