Forecasting rain in inches

Step 1) Observe

The atmosphere thick,

we could feel the rain,

almost hear it coming...

While waiting it was only fair

to summarize the bottom line

for the accountant that doesn't

count fiction, the paperbackless

bookkeeper-maths read or black

not grey matters.

He is given by charitable donation, 

two whole words he's never reconciled

to the penny, namely Time and Memory.

Step 2) Hypothesize

Balancing Proust, with pi and infinity,

he admires my interest in chaos theory

from afar

thunder marches up the mountains,

finches scatter in the meadow below,

this feels like dark matter I imagine

filling in corners, spackle, sealing gaps-

clearly, this thinning and spreading

cannot be considered conservation...

Step 3) Test

The moon inches away,

Orion loosens his belt,

in this Age, the ewer overflows its rim-

we notice displacement-

forgetting about the rain and rising water

all around us.

Step 1) Observe

 

The mind may be mysterious 

most simply because we do not have time 

to solve definitively for X.

Some sentences add up facts, like Faulkner

in august, Proust in jest, all the rest in pieces

to be recalled, summoned as messages

for the neuroscientists

who seek the spark of dendrites in lights,

detonations via regional locations,

wondering why we memory...

Step 2) Hypothesize

It is Situational Awareness.

This is a problem for space

and here I stand pinned 

on this arrowless ray, today

marking my words

for later...

Step 4) Conclude

Those slippery days, segments of totality

some times get away.

We are irrational and grateful

gravity is given without question.

"(1978) NASA hired Barbara S. Askins, a chemist at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center, Huntsville, Alabama, in 1975 to find a better way to develop astronomical and geological pictures. In 1978, the Association for Advancement of Inventions and Innovations named her the National Inventor of the Year for her invention of a process that restored detail to underexposed negatives that would otherwise be useless. In 1978, Barbara Askins patented a method of enhancing the pictures using radioactive materials. The process was so successful that its uses were expanded beyond NASA researchers to improvements in X-ray technology and in the restoration of old pictures"
