The Ether

We’re out

past the end

game where things

get fuzzy,

less thingy,

though in past times

we practiced

precision

concrete as a slot machine.

But to be precise

you need to stop

a moment

which turns out to be

impracticable

and besides

speed is of the essence.

Don’t worry.

“Of” can take care

of itself

and it’s fine

to say “essence”

now that it’s understood

to mean ether,

a kind of filler

made either

of inattention

or absorption

somewhere near

the Planck length
