Spectral filter sensitivities
To infrared light
Cause inspriational sensibilites
In every human’s plight.

A seismic rebellion
On a mountain in North Troms.
Leaving danger in its aftermath
And atmospheric bombs.

With systematic rebels
And symtamatic charms
Streaking silence in its aftermath
Information there that warns.

For psychedelic rebels
On random cosmic farms
Creating shockwaves with its aftermath
Are Norwegian type alarms.

Flight system performance
And uplinked data
Are logical reminders
Of cosmological tables.

A system sequence verified
In the distance of time
Is systematic maintenance
Of an old message: To find.

A rock and roll occasion
For a religious Helene
A wishful remembrance
For a scenic serene.

A petulant lady
That’s dogmatically mean
Ponders its orbit
And the meaning of: To be.

Black holes dancing
In a Galactic swaree
Moving with their partner
While trying to back away.

A twin massive two step
In a supermassive way
A duality inspired
By radioactive fray.

Is the Universe
A quantum computer?
Do bits of photons
Reign, as Gods fingers?

Battle scared Rhea
With a delicate orbit
A connection to local knowledge.
Trying not to admit it.

Brilliant destructive Rhea
An ice scattering hit
Deep in old recovery
Awesome power, holy shit.

Red space aerobraking
In reconnaissance mode
Simplifies trajectory
For information growth.

Red face aerobraking
In a curious pose
Indicates its logic
As a Demigod that knows.

Energy

Speed

equals

Ion propulsion
Coupled with Chemical Combustion
divided by
Time.

“smushy time”

A theory.

If we can speed out
Why can we not speed in?

If we can grow old
Why can we not grow young?

Why is this logical dichotomy
So paradoxical and disorienting?

When will the Ion engines of thought
Prevail?
