As quantum foam cracked and bounced
Two muons emerged by random chance.
One fell, ever faster, to the the singularity's maw
t'other flew relativistically outward, free, untangled.
Cold dark orbits 'round a red dwarf star
Two icy rocks intersect, collide,
No noise, no sound, yet momentum changes
The pre-planetary swarm swirls on
Giant blue stars burn fierce and fast
Brighter, stronger than all around
Nuclear pressure will soon deflate.
Mass-energy laws will bring all to an end
That dead muon was never known
No mind to witness a mighty smash,
Perhaps a nova's photon will reach us here.
Are things forgotten, when never known?
We know our friends, we talk, we chat.
But things stay hidden, we cannot know
Where a photon hints, we might chance to guess
Is forgetting possible, if never we knew?
