Lofted

Measured

Measured aloft

Length contraction said Hendrik Lorentz

His dream tamed the distance, reduced its persistent resistance to directional.

In observational database, conjecture of

Experiencial rotation. Spinning warps.

Be at rest, the inertial frame of reference

Without weft or structural perspectives.

Measurements taken, are often mistakes,

As optical illusions happen, close to light speed see (d).

At which it travels nine tenths towards.

The limit of vanishing transport velocity,

Key conundrum sung, sweet lofted up dreams hum.

Reminded of sunrises rest.

Crucial to consider in best suit and tie

Simultaneity occurs under our psyche.

No micron precision in perfections prism.

Be blissfully unaware to time’s relevance

Hop skip through spaces Labyrinth in,

I’m relative to you. In habitat our matter.

About the Creator

Paul Beckett

I’m a writer, horologist & joy filled explorer. Reality to me is plastic. I’m fascinated with time, quantum physics, analogue and fashion.

My writings at least 69% autobiographical, often 99%
