 On "Space being (don't forget to remember) Curved"
Cummings imagines here the inheritance and reconception of Newton's law by Einstein as a kind of scientific lineage, another step in the history of science; as he exhorts, "(but we read that beFore)." It is, indeed, another line that must "curve" or bend to be fully realized.
Cummings is brilliant with technical matters, so it should not surprise to see how his "curving" of poetic form complements his notions of space/time curvature.
Cummings shows us that science and poetry both depend on formal reasoning and faithful intuition; both are human creations, after all, two of our best attempts to understand the universe and our place in it.

 [332 NLRB No. 157] Nichols House Nursing Home, 1-RC-21085
Cummings, who worked for the Employer as a per diem charge nurse, was hired to fill the DNS position on October 5, and Briggs, who was working for the Employer as a unit manager, was hired to fill the ADNS position on October 8.
Jasinski’s personal introduction of Cummings to certain shift employees on October 24, as the new DNS as of November 8, and the Employer’s statements concerning the promotions in its undated campaign literature do not detract from the fact that the current status of the two individuals as of the date of the election was unchanged.
The Employer contends that because the community-of-interest argument, on which the hearing officer relied in her recommendation that the challenges to the ballots of Cummings and Briggs be sustained, was never raised at the hearing, the hearing officer is precluded from analyzing the employees’ eligibility on that basis.
