My Quantum Way

​And now, the slits are near;
And so I face the final decision.
My friend, I'll say it clear,
I'll state my outcome, a wave or particle.

I've lived a quantum life.
I've traveled almost  at the speed of light;
And more, much more than this,
I did it my quantum way.

Interactions, I've had a few;
But they all were electromagnetic.
I did what I had to do
And it was governed by my electric nature

I didn't plan each trajectory;
The infinite possible paths to take,
And more, much more than this,
I did it my quantum way.

Yes, there were time, my energy
When it was not well defined.
But through it all, when there was a probability
I ate it up and split into them.
I faced them all and stood till measured;
And did it the quantum way

I've accelerated, I've collided.
I've emitted my photons; energy losing.
And now, as I get to the two slits
I find it so amusing.

To think I'll pass through both
And may I say - not in a classical way,
"Oh no, oh no not me,
I did it the quantum way".

For what is an electron, what properties has he got?
If not a marble, then he is a wave.
To do the things he truly has to;
And not the words of the quantum physicist.
The measurements show, he took both slits.

Yes, it was my quantum way.
