It also ignores the mental toll that poverty takes like maybe your home made veggie filled recipe isn’t crazy expensive but it also involves prep time and cooking time and organization in terms of fresh food that a lotta poor people can’t manage.

Do musicians scrape together two-string boxes and vent their woes to the void?

Do you think they are painting little white dots on every cold surface of their station? Makeshift stars reminding them of a sky they will die yearning for?

I'm thinking about the mechanics staring out into the abyss, still planning what they were going to do with their little "baby projects" they left in garages on planets that have vanished.

The people of Eden singing stories of Mars to the Tree, as if it would carry their message back through time. It's the only hope they have that God is listening. The only ear.

The biologists with notebooks full of plants they sketched by memory, over, and over, and over again, lest they forget something so precious.

Children growing up in adult clothes, knowing they will still be wearing them come middle age. A treasured family heirloom is something warm enough.
