You wonder what our other selves may do  
Now that our paths from theirs in Hilbert space 
Diverge and we no longer can see through 
The universe to them and to their place? 
But if our world breaks as transfinite foam 
Upon the rocks of time, then every act 
Of ours is also one of theirs: we roam  
A space of ghosts and make them live in fact. 
And somewhere I am braver and can speak 
To you: for here a stifling weight is pressed 
Upon that voice and I am rendered weak. 
I cannot feel my heart within my breast. 
So if my torch of love shines but a ray 
Remember it yet comes from far away.
