Skies

Astronomer

An acquaintance sent me this poem by Adrienne Rich (just the first lines):

"Planetarium" -- by Adrienne Rich

"Thinking of Caroline Herschel (1750—1848)
astronomer, sister of William; and others.
A woman in the shape of a monster
a monster in the shape of a woman
the skies are full of them."

Read the complete poem here.

Well, who doesn't want to be a woman in the shape of a monster?
