Great quantities of air are indistinguishable from water- <br />The silver jet plows through the sky at 250 knots, <br />The air grumbling as it moves aside, an invisible sea <br />In which is left a delicate, frothing wake, <br />The ride no smoother than through standing waves <br />Or stillest ocean. <br /> <br />Human beings are passengers on the biggest transit system of all, <br />The rounded globe, which spins beneath our feet at 1040 miles an hour- <br />Even as we believe daily we are on our way <br />To somewhere completely different.<br /><br />Patti Masterman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/conveyor-belt-through-the-cosmos/
