Disappearance

…and magic in Ohio

Magnetism
gave her traction
as she entered
compound fraction.

When she met you
at the corner
weren’t you anti?
How’d you warn her?

Oh…you couldn’t!
You were blinded
by the aura
she reminded!

So what passed as
straight vibration
was the sweat of
recreation.

“If a particle and an antiparticle meet, they disappear by emitting two photons or a pair of some other particles.” ~Alexander Kusenko, a senior scientist with the Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe.

Photo credit…iPhoned this picture from the passenger seat of a Lexus SUV while passing through some unknown town in Ohio where this street’s corner appeared to have a magic quality. Perhaps it was the sun’s reflection or the way the power cord was supplying energy to the GPS system in the iPhone. To find such magic in Ohio, I’m told, is rare. This scene happened in July 2015 before the plagues, before the politics, and even before the premonitions.
