SIDEWAYS UNIVERSE
(CAPACITOR AT KOSHKONONG)
=========================

Lake mud becomes the lower plate.
Storm clouds become the upper plate.
The lake becomes a capacitor.

Scout ships arrive.
A mile-long black carrier appears.
Radio bends.
Rain forms a needle.
The grid rotates.
Space folds.

The listening position remains a lawn chair beside Lake Koshkonong.

That contrast is the record.
