Eye-Beamed Thoughts:
"And I am confident
That I first ‘saw’ the message
In the peoples’ eyes
And not in their facial expressions,
Which were mixed and arbitrarily fixed.
The speed of light,
Ergo of the sight functioning,
Which is approximately
Seven hundred million miles per hour,
Is such an enormous velocity
That we mistakenly sense it
Only as ‘instantaneous.’
"When I was young
A camera required a minute’s exposure.
By improving film chemistry
And lens refinements
As we entered World War II,
A thousandth-of-a-second exposure
Had become adequate
For premium photographic equipment.
How adequate exposure
With some scientific equipment"
