"Now let us employ
All the foregoing discussion of wave phenomena
And speculate as to its significance--
And remembering that, lacking interference,
Electromagnetic waves
Apparently can travel on
At their seven-hundred-million-miles-per-hour rate
For what may be limitless periods of time.
Let us assume a cloudless night
Somewhere around the spherical surface
Aboard our space vehicle Earth,
And a human looking out at the stars
And inspired by the celestial splendor
To be thinking profoundly.
It is quite plausible
That his skyward focused eyes
May beam his thoughts,
Quite unbeknownst to him,
Out through the shallow atmosphere
Into the approximately interference-free
Macrocosmos.
