Schrödinger’s Cat and Wigner’s Friend

Schrödinger’s Cat and Wigner’s Friend

A photon spins, with no eye to see,
A thought unfolds, quietly, in me.
You measure light, I look away,
Two truths form, in different ways.

You say it’s this, I say it’s that—
A single photon in a cat.
Is it alive or can it be
Dead? Unseen, it’s a mystery.

I wave my hand, and you close your eyes,
Truths are born, or are they lies?
Two observe, and none, either cannot say
Where reality exists or starts to sway.

In this divide, we live, we bend—
Where does it break, where does it mend?
Both sides of truth, both sides of sight,
Lost between the wrong and right.
