Nocturnes: Random Waves

If space is truly curved, like a balloon

inflated (but contracting) perhaps time

 

is also curved.  Perhaps we can transmit

this message with such swift velocity

 

it will swing about time's curve to meet the past
as its future (rather than this entropy).

 

Others are said to have tried this with lights:

records of ancient epochs have implied

 

that these arrived as unidentified

flying objects.  Perhaps we can now take

 

advantage of that complex hypothesis

to send this message so far forward that

 

it doubles back to ages that we know

only as data almost too old to date

 

accurately.  We shall broadcast this often

in every deadened language we can find.
