The String-Bound Universe

All String-Bound

the-string-bound-universe

Of covering, of centering, of quartering, with strings;

Of renderings, engendering; a story of many things.

The subtle throb of sub-nanoscopic strings;

Existence into the realm of reality it brings;

So pronounce the learned cosmologists.

the-string-bound-universe

To simply explain in the practical domain;

An analogy with notional parity too to maintain

Will be, a note strung by instrumentalists.

the-string-bound-universe

These are the thoughts precise, that invariably rise;

Whenever I happen to see the musical device;

That not long ago, elegantly adorned our attic;

Courtesy: Giphy.com

An occasional inspiration, to effect articulation

Of a melodious, harmonic, sense-enunciation,

Would have me pluck it and go intensely ecstatic.

the-string-bound-universe

Then occurred a muser, an ingenious seducer;

To fashion a mannequin as the device user,

And have her grace our cozy living space.

the-string-bound-universe

Soon the rumination transformed, quite unharmed;

Its ramifications enthralling all those informed,

She was to have the likeness of my wife's face.

the-string-bound-universe

To keep with the theme, I devised a scheme,

Of construction under a string-full regime,

That on paper sported a delicate demeanor;

the-string-bound-universe

With strings of every kind, all intertwined;

When concepts, fiber, and metal, combined;

In strength, there wasn't one more meaner.

the-string-bound-universe

Four months it had taken; with focus unshaken;

To make poise and beauty in her awaken;

It was indeed a labor of love and devotion.

the-string-bound-universe

But it led to a situation, filled with consternation,

Put me in a spot of immense botheration;

My affection for it caused a big commotion.

the-string-bound-universe

'Twas no surprise, that there was a compromise,

To spill details, on my part, utterly unwise;

When the matter is one between those I adore.

the-string-bound-universe

Suffice to say, that peace does hold sway;

The replica presides, the real directs night and day;

And I have no dominion over my life any more.

the-string-bound-universe

A consolatory thought, after the damage is wrought,

Is that the string-theory declares this to be ought;

In truth though, the only thing it does is confound.

the-string-bound-universe

With a logic so sound, no longer does it astound,

If the notion, one were to forcefully expound;

That the universe and existence is all string-bound.

.

Here is a rather binding question:
