There are these quantum computers available
If you can spare the ten million or so it’ll cost you
They are able to go beyond binary thinking
Using supercooled processors they use the laws of quantum
Ambiguity rules since they can be yes, no, maybe so
Able to exist in the opposite state simultaneously
Turning accountants into poets
Who no longer have to be black and white about things
But can consider gray as a possibility (which will drive auditors crazy)
Unfortunately their clients have been mostly governments and corporations
Those quantum computers are probably being used for military purposes
Or developing strategies to maximize the profitability of resource extraction
And other even less benign schemes
But wouldn’t it be fun to get one for poets and philosophers to use
Asking eternal questions in quantum space
Exploring all the contradictions inherent in our flawed condition
We could distill all the music that really moves us into a single harmonic jewel
Peel away all the layers of fact until we’re left with just our own fiction
Watch pinhead ballets by infinities of angels
Or come to the conclusion that conclusions are illusions
So let’s crowd source an investment in one for fun
Set up an online philosopher’s café and an open microphone for the poets
Quantum computing truth in every dimension
