"Snow warred on the El's world in the blank snow" --Lowell

Seven Eleven,
yard workers stop in early;
i get my paper.

Both checkers try their Spanish:
one Indian, one Anglo.

Even Marilyn Manson is scared of Otep. (Is this
like Henry Kissinger saying Rumsfeld scares him?--which he did.)

When Hal Clement devised his planet Mesklin after the discovered wobble
at the star 61 Cygni* indicated one that size might exist, he chose for novelistic
purposes to make it a solid body--larger than Jupiter--instead of (as he doubtless
knew) the gas giant it probably had to be. I want to write about an imaginary
satellite of the 70 Virginis planet, only at the nearer inaccurate distance it was
first described to be, even though it is my own disproof that such a temperate
world can be there. THIS--is my PoMo twist. But for all the rest, i want to follow
scientific probability exactly.
