Castles In The Air

 
Beware, beware
Those flying castles
Lying in wait
Somewhere beyond
The garden gate.

Revolutionary
In their defiance
Of Einstein
Who
Like the rest of us
Is gravitationally
A prisoner.

But they
Freed from a tiresome whim
Of a fanciful god
Hurtle
Tardis-like
Somewhere
Just beyond.

They might plague us
Hoping to entice us
To hop aboard
Sallying forth
Across the Forth
To circumnavigate
Wild galaxies.

Depositing us
In their own time
That might not be our time
In an unglamorous heap
Trapped once more
With Einstein
And his descendants
In an E=MC2 morass.

Castles in the air
Might or might not
Be a good thing
For me.
