NEBRASKA NOCTURNE

Hushpuppies worn with a tuxedo, split ends and infinitives, tawny toupee with black fringes, misplaced persons or modifiers. EGREGIOUS ERRORS One glove, lost keys, names forgotten, turns onto dead-end streets, shopper in express line with twenty-three coupons, six expired. RANDOM RANKLINGS British police disciplining three officers for flatulence at a crime scene or as the Brits say, "breaking wind." How unseemly! Brutality, bribery, and breaches of honor among our men in blue. BRITICISM CRITICISM A plane leaving L.A. at eleven o'clock heading east, another departing Atlanta at ten, west bound...at what time will their transverse occur and when will it rain in Omaha? MIDNIGHT MUSINGS My senses surging, my head bowing at a notion of other dimensions and a greater reality. Endless hours expended on absurdities while the speed of light  changes, black holes consume the cadence of the cosmos, ants sing, and the ultimate import eludes. SATURNINE SOLIPSISM.

Additional Notes:
This light prose-poem was inspired by the discovery that the speed of light varies and by the first recording of ants singing in communication.
