I carry this conduit
Round in my hands
Just a-waitin' for the words
That you'll send to me.
When the shifts in the ether
Become understand-
-ing of our vague connection:
Yeah, words are the key.
---------------
ether - an outdated scientific idea about the medium
electromagnetic waves, like radio, light and microwaves might move
through. It was postulated to permeate all things. We now believe there
is no such medium and EM waves self-propagate because the electric part
induces the magnetic part and vice-versa. Before my aside eclipses the
poetry (indeed a vice versa - danger to the verse...) I'll stop. Fascinating stuff that science, really.
