Lament for the Ether

Wosh, rrrowr, rrrowr, rrrowr.
The fan protests its redundant exertion.
Slowly, maybe quickly, the air swirls,
Nitrogen, Oxygen, sulfer, argon; Air,
Filling vacuum; absence, lack of everything.
Oh, the ether would have been nice in a way -
Something tangible to be tapped;
But no, Maxwell said fiat lux.

I liked this and thought it was very well thought out. I particularly enjoyed the line about the vaccum in terms of a voide. It really fit with the wind motif.

Excellent post
