Museum of Science + Industry: Chicago

ajar
my mouth open
wide to see the fetus
collection on the shelf--babies
hold my wonder at life
carefully stored
in jars

  1. Hey there Francis! How are you? Thanks for visiting... You've been to the Museum there in Chicago, right?

    This image has been with me since fifth grade...

    Take care, Kay

  2. I like the wordplay in the opening and closing lines.

    The title is interesting.

  3. Hello dear Chen-ou:

    The title is the place where these jars may be found. Or, rather, used to be. I've not been to Chicago since I was a child.

  4. One of those fascinating, kinda creepy but very important exhibits even adults can't take their eyes from.
