The Speed of Light

What if
the speed of light could accelerate
and shatter man's delicate cosmology,

that conglomerated material picture of the universe
that seems so important,
falling off the table
into so many religious shards
of philosophic theory,

even the poetic crack of dawn
wouldn't be safe from conjecture
of some temporal conspiracy
to separate what we believe
from what we know,

for if
the speed of light is not a constant,
then where, oh where,
is our answer to it all?
