SPIDERS
SPIDERS FROM MARS
Louise Bourgeois the sculptor (1911-2010) spent so much
of her adult life in analysis she was said to be famously troubled
Perfect epithet for the modern famewhore Fame now a birthright
Airtight liberation from the quotidian The famous reportedly don’t love
(And they never forgive)
In 2008 Louise B. finally gave us an Open Door Liberation? Or cheeky portal
to another kind of entrapment Freedom after all is Super-myth the GIANT carrot
One Buddhist monk has even declared: You cannot be free until you are free of the
desire to punish And there is someone I must forgive by 12:01 a.m. tomorrow
Which will be more difficult? This or giving up life as I know it for life on Mars?
Nearly 97,000 Canadians have applied to join Mars One which will establish a
permanent human colony by 2023 I would simply rather be famous
