separations by Lynne Jambor


separations


The aluminum wall on the International Space Station is 1/10 of an inch thick.
 
a thoughtful child
examines the new boundary
classroom walls 
 
The latest iteration of Plant Habitat 4 raises the stakes on growing vegetables experimentally.
 
something to chew
with the usual mush
hatch chilies 
 
The location right now 20.91O North and 21.95 O West heading toward the West African Coast task list.
 
our pale blue dot
just rotates
 
I stand here and
search the night sky 

I am trying to envision a wall between inside and outside; a wall between throwing a seed in the ground and growing one in an artificial environment. Break down a wall between simple and complex; and a wall between imagination and reality. All of which could be expressed in better and different ways. I think I will spend the rest of my life scaling walls.
