Jupiter statue


Yesterday I got my picture taken with the statue of Jupiter at South Station. The statue is part of a replica of the solar system that is scattered around Boston. Each planet is represented by a to-scale model, placed at the same distances from the sun as they are in space. The sun is a big ball at the Science Museum, with a diameter of 11 feet! The name of the project is the Community Solar System.

sometimes i like to just take the words of strangers - near or far - and turn those into poems of their own. alliterations, assonance, and all other aspects of grammar excite and escape me on a daily basis.
