Down-Below-And-Deep Inside Parts
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): One possible way to tap into the current cosmic opportunities would be to seek out *storegasms* — the ecstatic feelings released while exercising one’s buyological urges in consumer temples crammed with an obscene abundance of colorful material goods.

A Parachute Out of Everything Broken
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Winner of the American Book Award in 1963, William Stafford wrote thousands of poems.
