yesterday
a lumpish knot in the string
a rogue particle in the quantum
an extra raisin in the donut
take your pick
an/d time slipped
made an absence of progress
in curved space
we sensed
- as through a gap
a brief and sudden rush of wind
we shifted
to a new dimension
where history stays
the future changes
and for the moment
the present
matter/s

Great words; and a great shape too to the poem.
This is altogether too clever for my brain to take in.
Incidentally - I liked the poetry book you sent to Joan - she was so pleased to get your letter.
Pat, I'm pleased the book was a good choice. They've recently made a teeny-weeny-mini-black hole at CERN.
Gordon, Thanks.
Reading the latest breaking news reports (e.g. today's NY Times - Cern captures anti-matter, replicates Big-Bang etc.) I appear with this poem to have preceeded the quantum event ever so slightly. Never mind. On we go.
