Optical musing

- - -
I.

Sparks, twinkling.
Spectrum of colors.
Soaring over the valley of
Clouds in dancing waves.
Then down they drift, drift,
Drift until the afterglow
Where it may vanish evanescent
Or fade, fade into the hazy night.

II.

One or the other identity
Either way
It can bounce right back
Or be deflected
Or disappear into the depth
Or come out on the other side
Then the question becomes
Where
Or how
Or how much
Or when
Or why
Or what if

III.

Would you like it done
Macroscopically,
Microscopically,
Quantum mechanically,
Or medium-rare with a dash of thyme?

Ultimate fanfiction project proposal

- - -
My ideal epic fanfiction would be a cross-over between Numb3rs and Batman. Go figure. Probably not altogether surprising, as the lead characters are both of a somewhat similar type as myself, and the supporting cast is more than awesome.

It won't be too hard to come up with a general scenario... could even be along the line of the Bourne series. But the devil is in the details, and one can imagine how the Professor and the Dark Knight would want to handle things on their own and see no need to collaborate... so it would take a most compelling circumstance that would force them to join forces and forego preconceived notions.

On an aside, I think Alfred and the prof's father would totally get along. I can picture them doing some crazy hands-on project together, like building something outrageous in Mr. Eppes' garage or the basement of Wayne Enterprises...
