The thing you’ve got to understand about Schrödinger

Half Tone Lamp

is that he was crazy, you see.
But not crazy like that guy who sits at
the corner of 5th and Wilson
and yells at everyone who passes by
about the menstrual cycles of Cornish hens.

No, Schrödinger was crazy like God.

He had this box, see,
(Schrödinger, not God,)
and in this box there was a cat,
or maybe there wasn’t,
or again, maybe both -

There was and there wasn’t a cat.
Crazy, right?

This is, he explained, all very scientific,
based on mathematical probabilities of the highest order.
