The properties of new technology.

Hidden deep in a cavern away from the sun,
at a secretive base with the code, Fifty One,
the advance of technology heightens the scene
with a new innovation--the Gravity Bean.

It is shaped like a bean and in fact lima-like;
at the top, rising up, is what looks like a spike.
It was found in a zinc mine in northern Japan,
and was seized by the Army the way that they can.

So reverse engineering keeps many apace
on this strange artifact of some alien race.
(For the Earth is but one place in this cosmic realm
  with the music of life everywhere at the helm.)

Now the gravity bean is about six feet tall
and is flat at the base to prevent any fall.
It was analyzed thoroughly with every test
by inquiring minds with a penchant for zest.

It was found to produce anti-gravity waves;
(it enthralls and bedevils the way it behaves.)
So when proximate to the Bean, gravity fails,
and indeed anti-gravity always prevails.

I must stipulate, though, that the Bean needs a light;
an intense laser beam to make it work all right.
So with laser directed at bean forcefully,
anti-gravity is produced abundantly.

The first test of the Bean were with lumbar and brick;
objects rose to the top of the ceiling right quick.
But there was a peculiar anomaly too;
for a number of seconds they winked out of view!

Human beings were chosen like astronauts are;
(unlike NASA, they didn’t think they’d go too far.)
Yet they also winked out in their top ceiling ride
but then reappeared quickly to all those inside.

They reported that time passed for hours on end
and that they saw beginnings and even the end.
All the stars of the universe seemed at their reach
and the fabric of time was like sand on the beach.

Seems the Gravity Bean dilates time to a tee;
this is why there is relative discrepancy.
But it also creates vistas far beyond odd;
I heard some even say it’s reactive to God.
