The Edge of Infinity

Zipping around the event horizon
of a black hole, Schwarzchild radius -
a gravitational field outside
a non-rotating, spherically symmetrical
body, a coordinate singularity
where the escape velocity
is precisely equal to the speed of light.
The edge of infinity is proportional
to the mass of the object in question,
and a black hole has a radius
smaller than that of Schwarzchild's solution.
Neither light nor particles can escape -
and the smaller black holes
have greater density than
their supermassive counterparts.
There is a supermassive black hole
at the galactic center of the Milky Way,
around which our galaxy rotates,
and an accretion of gasses in a disk
around it releases energy
powering a radio source
pulsing waves of wind and weird
and angelic choruses
interrupted by the croaks
of frogs and sirens wailing -
the universe hums along.
