		<title>Decline</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Soviet Union&#8217;s Buran, a piece of living palimpsest, was a cultural artifact before it rolled off the assembly line.

		<title>Titan</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Time moves so slowly since it&#8217;s become a man. Locks knocked from behind its ears buoy to stillness. Moths too small for its swat course toward zero.

		<title>Moscow Porto-Toilet 018</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Toiletia can be broadly distinguished into two major groups the nonchordates, or invertebrates, and the chordates.
