Linear Acceleration

by Michael Faraday

If I had a window
I would stare out of it

The mower guy drives by
I can smell him once a week

We could trade places
He could stare at the screen
and watch cryogenic diodes fluctuate
at minus 300, the vacuum space
trend upwards when mega joules of
radio frequency excite the beam

I would drive his machine
back and forth ad nauseum
loving every moment

When the wonderous zero radius
machine ran out of gas
I would fill it up again and again purposely
getting some on my hands to wash
off the stench of middle managements
mindless montage of maligned meetings

The blade, that blade of grass in of itself
made up of atoms of which we seek
the motive

Interesting, particularly with your last name.

Congrats on POTD! I especially enjoyed S5 and the gas washing off the stench of many mmmmmmmmmmmmm's. Thank you!

I do cubicle farm work and smell grass in season in tension.
