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"
