TV in space,
Much like pigs in space,
Further cements my belief that the best TV may be
Real-time newsfeed of the war to end all wars
on some other planet.
NIMBY, bitches.
Somewhere in space, this may all be happening right now.

Selah
This time I looked it up, hst:
Merriam Webster 10th Collegiate:
A term of uncertain meaning found in the Hebrew text of the Psalms and Habbakuk carried over untranslated into some English versions.
Compact OED 1981:
A Hebrew word, occurring frequently at the end of a verse in the Psalter and thrice in Hab. iii, by the LXX rendered [GREEK]; supposed to be a musical or liturgical direction of some kind, perhaps indicating pause or rest. Hence in various allusive uses (see quots.).
1530 tr. Bucer's Psalms iii. A 5, This worde Selah signifiyeth ye sentence before to be pond'red with a depe affecte, longe to be rested upon and the voyce there to be exalted. 1623 S. Ward Peace-off. (1624) 50 Record, not all and euery fauour, which is impossible, but the most memorable and thankworthy; putting a special Selah of thankes vpon them. 1826 Mrs. Browning Ess. Mind iI. 629 Then comes the Selah! and the voice is hush'd. 1872 O. W. Holmes Poet Breakf.-t iv, But you need not think I am going to tell you every time his popgun goes off, making a Selah of him whenever I want to chance the subject.

I accept no further arguments about relative value of dictionaries.

Droptop Moon
There is nothing quite like driving somewhere tropical in a very fast car with no top.
Daysun feels lovely on skull as the warm breeze leads on. The constantsun tempered by the windtunnel between ears. The profile of your idea(l)s hardened by the onslaught of the quickfastnopause acceleration at your toetips.
Permeating Helios imposes his high unrelenting arc of heat upon all. Accept this rush of power and push on for immortality in the infinitude of infinitely divisible/multiplied moments. PushPush Past Zeno's eternally shrinkingnose-leading Tortoise.
[Achilles] ain't got shit on me.
And then, the night. Moonlight through the permeable non-roof: Refreshilvernly. Contemplative reflection of immolating fire, Artemis pierces straight T hr O ugh the soul. Fear of her full glory leaves only glimmering glimpses. Easily unseen in the absence of the burning daylight, a calm consumes. The need for speed subsumed slowly by the need for beauty.
The Sea on this side. The Mountain on that. Poseidon and Gaia lit right by the moonlight. Appreciative views of muted chiaroscuro images provide relief from existence. Brightbeauty now subsumed into glowing radiantbeauty. The rainbow of [intense color]flavors washed out to study how beauty is a [gleaming] one [color]note.
Writ right by the moonlight:
Thank you beauty on and ever anon again
