When making observations of the night sky
constellations
I am aware that patterns form, lights flick on and off and stars are being born even as I look.

I listen in quire avidly to the BBC light programme on the crystal set while waiting for the wireless one,
transistorisation is sure to follow on and who knows what comes next,
predictive text?

Haha that made me almost crack a smile.

but the speed in which we're racing to the future is in danger of overtaking itself and when the speed of light is left behind what colours will we have?

a million, billion pixels form,
another raging Sun is born
I find myself awake when
the earthquake
measures five point eight

Alert is one more state of mind
one more place to find
what I'm looking for.
