November Chapbook Challenge Day 15: The Quantum Theory of Car Keys

 Today's prompt from Robert Lee Brewer: Write a poem with the title "Meaning of _______". This is a slightly silly interpretation of a famous scientific paradox used to expalin quantum theory - how a particle can exist in two realities simultaneously. I thought it might help explain the phenomenon of lost things, or maybe not. Also, I think I like the title of my blog entry better as a title for my poem than the one I came up with. 


Meaning of Schrödinger's Cat
 
when
I lose
my car keys
 
I
look under
the sofa cushions
 
and
they're there
or not there
 
but
when
I'm not seeking them
 
they are everywhere
I don't look
