Fasten Your Seat Belts, Everyone


                maneuvering over the vast expanse
                    might take eons
                starships leaving the speed of light
                    in their rear-view mirrors

                crews of AI along for the ride
                    in case G-d might decide
                    to breach the great divide

traffic is backed up on the Southeast "Expressway", the Mass pike stopped traffic to allow a snail to cross it two days ago, and they just put a speed bump on the bike lane

Yep, God will always be in control. Especially when it comes to the speed of Light. Mach infinity...!

Technology just whizzed by me! BTW, I just noticed that your Cubs just made mincemeat out of the Dodgers.

Cubs tend to win the games that don't matter... When everything's on the line, however...

If the seat belt fits, wear it.
