ELAINE EQUI

At the Cinema Tarot

#10 First Spaceship on Venus

(A female astronaut is on a mission)

Today is a day to take control.

This missile, this helmet

fits like a second skin.

I’m at ease in them

and can project

my naturally timid nature

without fear –

see myself in the mirrored cloud

sexy protective shield

of my sister planet.

#11 Cinderfella

(Jerry Lewis sleeps in)

The wicked stepmother will just have to wait for her breakfast.

#12 The Moon-Spinners

(Hayley Mills gets chatted up)

Like a jewel thief –

that’s how smooth he’ll be.

Expect to find yourself at a wedding soon.

#13 The Moon-Spinners

(An English tourist tries to keep a low profile)

No, you’re not being paranoid.

Someone really is after you.

#14 Journey to the Center of the Earth

(Science penetrates a steamy cavern)

reishi, shiitake,

enoki, morel,

porcini, peyote,

oyster, chanterelles –

get friendly with a fungus today!
