Ada Limón’s poem “In Praise of Mystery: A Poem for Europa” was inscribed on a tantalum plate from a NASA spaceship set to fly October 10th, 2024, en -route to seek the water of Europa.

What is wonderful, is surprising, it just depends on who’s watching? Oder? Or? Que, no?

Mira no más…

Look now…

“Hush now…”

 We can cry from watching DNC presentations, and still be surprised by its suspenseful dialectic language- as police poetry?

Here we are,

How dreamy…

The best joke is the first joke.   Or no joke at all. 

A bit of time-traveling to three original stars.

In 1988 Ennio Morricone along with Metropole Orkestra, performed a suite from the 1987 film “The Untouchables” supported by soprano, Alide Maria Salvetta, who also sang and recorded Scott Joplin’s “I Am Thinking of My Pickanninny Days” alongside pianist Antonio Ballista around 1982.

Originally published by Thiebes-Sterlin Music Co. in 1902.

From The Big Easy to Chicago.

From Chicago to the World.

In Pakistan- and Pasadena, the hand of a winged Atlas, rests upon his left shoulder-

“Where is the world now?”

Well, affiliated with the sky, the stars, the sun, and the moons, of course.

Swing low sweet swing, swing high sweet fly, by and by. 

Now go on! Put on your favorite suit, and call your mom, and your dad, and your sister, and your brother, your cousins, and their friends, and everyone else too!

With our heart in hand, and the other ready to share whatever is in the grocery bag I’m holding-

 De corazone,

a corazone. 

No more fireworks.
