This is the meal equally set, this the meat for natural hunger, 
It is for the wicked just same as the righteous, I make appointments 
with all, 
I will not have a single person slighted or left away, 
The kept-woman, sponger, thief, are hereby invited, 
The heavy-lipp’d slave is invited, the venerealee is invited; 
There shall be no difference between them and the rest.

This is the press of a bashful hand, this the float and odor of 
hair, 
This the touch of my lips to yours, this the murmur of yearning, 
This the far-off depth and height reflecting my own face, 
This the thoughtful merge of myself, and the outlet again.

Do you guess I have some intricate purpose? 
Well I have, for the Fourth-month showers have, and the mica on the 
side of a rock has.

Do you take it I would astonish? 
Does the daylight astonish? does the early redstart twittering 
through the woods? 
Do I astonish more than they?

This hour I tell things in confidence, 
I might not tell everybody, but I will tell you.


-Walt Whitman

Combined data from NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope, the Hubble Space Telescope and the Chandra X-ray Observatory reveal the false-color remains of an exploded star called Cassiopeia A, which is 10,000 light-years from Earth and measuring 13 light-years across. Because it is so young and so close to Earth, experts consider Cassiopeia A an excellent source for the study of supernovas. When a star such as Cassiopeia A explodes, its remnants are shot out into space. This means elements such as oxygen, sulfur and iron expand beyond their original source. Heated gas and material from the star create a glowing shell. Judging from the size of its expanding gas cloud, scientists think Cassiopeia A exploded about 333 years ago.

This was a project in my class today.

Lights on, it was just a wire sculpture.

Lights off and there was a goddamn spiral universe on the floor.

You came along, I got into your car
You came along, I knew I was wrong
I knew I would die
But still I cave in, I gave you my heart
I cave in, I knew I would die

Well hang on, hang on
I know you don’t think I know
Well hold on, hold on
But I know but I know but I know
I always knew what you were

The Drums - what you were
