"There's the upward inflection of it- the honeyed smile of space front & center in our heads-
Voyager winking like a gold incisor on its way out of this solar system".
"Then there's the because & I-told-you-so of it- slicking its promissory goatee with a ringed thumb & ringed forefinger
right before a bugged-out hustle of piano & grin". "Almost & might be there again,
the rounded parts of Saturn waiting to go green like the cheap metal
under a Jesus piece's already sketchy plating".
"The myth of space, though".
" It's like this wide".
This reading talks about traveling to space, the myth of space and how wide it is, a voyager leaving the solar system, & Saturn's round circle around it going green like cheap metal under a Jesus plating.
The only part that I don't understand very well is the 2nd stanza into the 3rd stanza; not sure what the writer really means by that.

ReplyDeleteFrom my section this is my interpretation, meaing practically everthing can come in out our. Howeverit will require tremendous force and speed.This seems to talk about maybe astronauts leaving earth to go to see space and see planets.For example when it mentions "right after the rattling windows and the mosquitos in my ear as busy as Fourth of July traffic cops." In my thought process I believe it to be a voyage to space.
