Resembles A Ballet - [r] Poem by Margaret Alice Second

I wonder how the scientists ascertained
what they say: if quanta not observed is
engaged in swirling like a wave, dancing
to its own music - how did they discover
this scientific behaviour without seeing

What the quanta's doing as it would stop
the quanta in its tracks - and if a quanta
feels the touch of curious eyes invading
privacy and stops moving to become an
immobile particle, is it trying to provide

A picture of itself for the observer to take
home - and as soon as the lights of the
strange consciousness fade - does the
quanta return to the original rhythmic
dance, rejoicing in sheer being -

Which resembles a ballet?
