a wide line of sunlight
intensifies
the lime green grip
on the paper scissors
a photo sits
in a shadow
showing the time
before quantum physics
brought telepathy
to imagery
seeing without seeing
is a real thing
that time
you licked a saltbush
out in the scrub—
that’s the photo
that the taste
wasn’t that good
isn’t ‘revealed’
next time
quantum physics
might try
different senses
&
maybe
preview flavour
colours
take care
of themselves
it’s spooky
knowing how it ends
in advance
no guessing next time
