| Description: |
Orbit connects the intimate with what is farthest from us, mixing what we can imagine with what is daily and near. Landscapes stretch from stable and fulfilling domestic interiors to the destiny of our sun as an exploding red giant. |
| Synopsis: |
Early this afternoon we adopted 12 stem cells, After reading the threatening paper this morning, One cell from each of the 12 horoscope months. So far, each cell has no characteristics Except the right to bear arms. We took their 12 little boxes for their first outing Late this afternoon to Starbucks. Unloading Their miniscule sidearms before we entered And placing the weapons on top of each box So they were in clear view Wasn't too difficult (strapped to a stem cell, A sidearm sticks out like a sore thumb), Except we kept dropping the bullets in the car. You can easily load the bullets without dropping them, But it's very difficult to get them out of the chambers Without dropping them, as you can imagine. On the way home, we bought a nice thick book of fortune-teller readings, Which I have called horoscopes previously, One hundred separate forecasts, Aries to Pisces, By one hundred different expert human forecasters, To understand what will happen next to our babies. Yes, we already know they are embryonic stem cells. Yes, we love them. Yes, we already know they will be sent out on the hallways to do their work.Yes, they will disappear, it is their job, but the 12 horoscopes Have them disappearing in 12 distinct ways. |
