Imagine a star whizzing
at a million miles per hour
Why not a 100 million miles per hour?
Why not a 1,000 million per second?
Truly, 1 million miles per hour
is fascinating --- as are the flights
of hummingbirds, as is the theory
advanced by Sawyer McGurdy in 1911
In his Theory of Alien Species,
Mc Gurdy argued that crickets
immigrated to earth on a comet from Mars
around the time that the dinosaurs extincted.
Mc Gurdy also believed that the cosmos
could be just one big concert hall in the process of emptying.
In his sequel to The Theory of Alien Species,
the author opined, "Mass is merely a cruder form of music."
