We rise twelve-sixty P.M. miles superior
to earth.
Twelve-fifty countries fetch firewood!
The other fifty burn it.
I find workers down in the hold.
They look up and cheer and hate.
There! I had trained my young mind to every non-discrete question not
yet satisfied. It is natural for surface to become depth. That’s
how you survive and come from caves or wetlands to inhabit every nine
tenths corner of world. Shallotte!
So George Westinghouse took me under his wing, and I slept.
Radiation is innocent. It passes though earth lovingly and through
Eugene river and through jars of honey lovingly. It can puncture steel
lead gum or paper treated titanium shield on broomsticks in the front
cone of a ship. It can puncture everything and pass through everything
with one exception and that is so excess of steel lead and gum and even
scraps of paper that it will waste time and make your instant to enter
the core. The ship goes in then you are safe. BESIDES radiation is life
and there are living in the sun. BESIDES its atoms are excess infinity
millions topping twenty topping nine. Actually twenty millions millions
Xmillions infinity tripled.
HENCE every sun is habitable nontoxic and lit up in constant day.
ALSO there are seasonal blue rivers of mineral asteroids.
PLUS inhabitants who have twelve twenty five-hundred tin foil suits.
They get bored in constant day and create museums of dark.
Falla! In the hold the human workers are straining.
The atoms come through & damage but they reproduce.
They have advantage in ratio and force but not in mind.
So all balance is lost in the Passing Formality of Number!
I dreamed of the women sleeping on earth.
Their anklets and eyelids all moving.
Their calves and their ears all twitching and beautiful.
