I hear it from afar—
across the street
or down the mountain—
unoccupied laughter
that carries with it
memories
of long-ago encounters.
Lessons learned,
idiosyncrasies shared
with a place and a love
on a mountain
thousands of miles distant
from any previous experience.
These encounters,
long dead,
resurrected
by anonymous merriment
that, unknowing,
carries messages
linked to memory
by some truth
of quantum physics.
Two beings, once connected,
maintain that connection
over time and space.
Your laugh.
Prompt words today are lesson, Idiosyncrasy, Encounter, Laughter and Unoccupied.

first time I ever saw a poem with the phrase “quantum physics” in it!
