Well (huffy face) they do! Closer to equator, farther distance to travel, same time (24 hours per revolution), objects traveling faster, time slows d-o-w-n.

It's true! Trust me.

Look it up!

Don't you pull that numbo jumbo here, Mr! Next you'll be telling us that

Thank you to those who commented on my poem When I Can't Sleep--especially that sneaky PoeTess. You are all very sweet. I'm probably going to take out that "you" that bothered a few commenters. I wasn't entirely sure about it either.



(And a gazillion kisses to my beloved Judo, two posts up, whose appearances here are way too few and far between. X infinity Ms. Judo)

Snow Geese, Fir Island

A shimmering white carpet spread
on the green of farmers' fields.

Then in a snag, an eagle lands.
The carpet rolls up like a wave—

all cacophony and froth.
It washes overhead, then flows

away to east. Its undertow
pulls cars in line, which trail the wave

as flotsam trails towards a beach,
or a white carpet, newly laid.

Not feeling well tonight? Shouldn't you at least tell us the various permutations and combinations by which the geese could leave the field?

Predator Evasion in the Snow Goose (Chen caerulescens):
A Stochastic Model

When a raptor is nearby
a goose can either stay or fly—

a binary option. But if one sits
too too alone it proves a twit

or rather, dinner. Which is why
stochastic geese take to the sky

in σ's clustered around μ.
It's outliers who end as stew.

I would have just told me to shut up.
You are much nicer than I am.
QED

Snell's Law
for SeattleRain

In sine, out sine both zero?
Line. When over critical,
light stays inside. Between
the two is angled sight.

Archer Fish (Toxotes jaculatrix)
Plays the Angles
for Sara Crewe

The archer fish knows this.
It's tiny mind adjusts
its aim to keep aligned
with target. So when it spits,
(Bam!) it drops the fly.

Ouch! Who spit?

Ouch! Who spit?

Don't lean so far over the pond.

You never listen, do you? You should always wear protection for safe spits.
