My highest high: the first image taken by the James Webb Space Telescope’s fully aligned mirror segments.

- [Story Poems](https://karenliptak.com/black-whole-memory/) - black whole memory Daddy, “Enough already!” Mommy, “What’s wrong with you? That’s my mother who just died!” They’re in the kitchen, thinking they’re whispering, as I lay on the sofa bed I can’t open like that girl my age in that ad on TV, my mouth smushed into my pillow, so Daddy won’t hear

- [Story Poems](https://karenliptak.com/cosmic-shopping-list/) - Cosmic Shopping List So many mindsets to penetrate, the hour growing dark and late, those who believe in science alone, those who mock what science has shown, the astrologically inclined, the spirit chasers, the egotists, bullies, prejudiced two-facers, the selfless humanitarians dedicated to good, the old, the young, those in second childhood.

- [Story Poems](https://karenliptak.com/cousinbobseuropa/) - COUSIN BOB'S EUROPA Cousin Bob, as a boy on Long Island, loved The Grateful Dead and Star Trek.
