WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF? 

Comet Hyakutake was spotted by 
Yuji Hyakutake (January 30, 1996). 
its closest approach was 9.3 million 
miles away. it wished to kiss the rust 
off of Yuji's nose. but that nose, Comet 
Hyakutake, is a scoundrel, outliving 1000s 
of fires. crackle, sniff. their warmth was pale!

THE DEATH OF BESSIE SMITH 

Comet Halley is from one of the cities 
that ape the Earth's knowledge. 

Gamaliel & Yehoshua were on a boat; 
the former had prepared bread for food 
the latter had prepared bread & flour for food 

when Gamaliel's bread was consumed by him 
he relied on Yehoshua's flour. to the question 
of Gamaliel, were you aware of a delay 
in the journey, that you took much food, 
Yehoshua replied, there's a star once a 70 year 
that makes the captains of ships err. 

said Gamaliel, you possess so much wisdom & still 
you're compelled to go on a ship to make your living.

THE AMERICAN DREAM 

Comet Wild 2 is known as The Six-Year Worm 
due to the number of years between sightings. 

Comet Wild 2 is to the eye as a cat is to a grape. 

Comet Wild 2 is a cruel take on a cat, on a grape; 
Comet Wild 2 is a conte cruel to the literary eye.

BOX / QUOTATIONS FROM CHAIRMAN MAO TSE-TUNG 

before 1840 Comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko had an orbit 
that kept it far from our Sun (a cow during her milk). 

In 1840 Comet C-G neared Jupiter, whose gravity moved 
Comet C-G closer to our Sun (a cow during her milk). 

a close approach near Jupiter in 1959 moved Comet C-G 
even closer to our Sun (a cow during her milk). since 

Comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko was distant from our 
Sun, a cow during her milk, until recent times, it hasn't 

melted a lot: Comet C-G's looks are more anciently, maybe. 
what did our Sun (cow, milk) look like when she was young?
