Verschränkung, Explained by Schrödinger's Cat

Luxuriant in death or love,
I'm in my box, my little cat box,

where his hammer takes my life or not
depending on some random thing.

Here am I wave or smear or fog.
Both quick and dead, he says, at once.

For me—for me—my quantum state
blurts basic binary: alive and not.

Inconsequential though I be, that makes it simple
morally. I would so much, much ratherbe

is my only, fervent thought.
If poor experiment, so what?

Nice. Esoteric and intellectual. What I expect from a Pushkine poem.

lives on and not. Different than the others I have read on the subject, but good. I agree about the last line, but have no suggestions for improvement.

Enjoyed it

For me a litter box came to mind in the first stanza, but then the thought experiment took hold. Nice personification (felinization ?) of the subject. Not sure what, but something seems lacking to me in the last line.
