Black Hole Conundrum
by Kenneth Vincent Walker
In crossing the Event Horizon
Time slows to a crawl; yet it
Doesn't stop, light is partially
Compressed, also extruded to
The point of no return wherein
Spaghettification induced by
Tidal forces ripping one apart
Swallowed up in dark matter.
For conventional wisdom is
No more; there is no way in
Surviving this conundrum as
Reality collapses, lapses, and
Implodes amongst the stars
Sparking within the heavens.
