WILLIAMS '41
"Those idiots at the base have sent us Catherine Wheels instead of Rockets!!!"
From ZENITH, April, 1941. (Distributed with FUTURIAN WAR DIGEST.)

HYPOTHESIS
By Harold Elliot
From FANTASIA, April, 1941

In ages primeval
A cosmic upheaval
With force gravitational
Wrought a sensational
Change in the gasses
Of two stellar masses

Twin spheres juvenescent
And quite incandescent
With strange unanimity
Entered proximity,
Each unaware 
That the other was there.

Bored by timeless excursions
And spatial immersions,
They dropped isolation
For acceleration
While fumes, enigmatic,
Erupted, ecstatic

Galactic dimensions
Allow for extensions
But solar conjunction,
A hazardous function
May often envision
A stellar collision

But the perigee spurned
Armageddon and turned
As the orbs madly rocked,
Invisibly locked
By mass-relativity's
Startling proclivities

By Harold Elliot
From FANTASIA, April, 1943

That their dual attraction
Produced interaction
Of fields magnetic
Seemed hardly prophetic,
But stresses ethereal
Fostered material

Wild tidal waves towered,
Burst outward and showered
The void in those regions
With flaming adhesions;
A superabundance
Of gassy redundance

These filaments glowing
Expanded, and growing
Took spiral formations
With passing rotations
And, motion-enthused,
Snapped apart ere they fused

Webs of gas, fragmentary
Left each luminary
As laws hyperbolic
Concluded the frolic
And chaos subsided
As orbits divided

That the flotsam condensed 
Has been long evidenced;
For Number Three chunk
Of the gaseous junk
Is charted on maps
Of the race Homo saps.
