“By the way, were we to find life-forms on Venus, we would probably call them Venutians, just as people from Mars would be Martians. But according to rules of Latin genitives, to be “of Venus” ought to make you a Venereal. Unfortunately, medical doctors reached that word before astronomers did. Can’t blame them, I suppose.

“If your mind can move mountains
and swallow gods,

and unborn tomorrows?

and walk on split hairs,
Why must it follow the same
path to despair?
Everyone will tell you:
'An orgasm here is just as good.”
