Science Faction Sonnet
Time is more limber than a prima ballerina,
and yet our use of it's so inflexible.
It is like we found a wonderful concertina
and use it to pump petrochemicals.
I'm not one of those to promote changing
the past, but if we could bend spacetime,
think of the radio detection and ranging
benefits. No more dropouts on Facetime
or Skype. Just do the Tesseract tango
and voila there you are and all done without
rockets or airplanes or ships. If man goes
not to Alpha Centauri, then bring it to him. No doubt
the steps to such a dance are admittedly quite tricky,
but what is our raison d'etre, if not to make time doohickeys?
