Two haiku / one photo

Moments

Moment to moment, /

decide or do not decide. /

Faceless choices near.

.

.

First

First, they take your face. /

Next, your body is product. /

Then, you are no more.

Fuzzy bath fortune /

Or slip in the tub.

“Running Chicken”

Q.: Why did the Running Chicken Nebula cross the galaxy?

A.: To get its photo taken by Hubble.

IC2944, Running Chicken Nebula, is a cluster of stars associated with the surrounding emission nebula located towards Centaurus constellation at 6500 light years from Earth. The object spans some 100 light years across the sky and is visible only from the southern hemisphere. The image includes another two emission nebule, the bright IC2948 and the fainter IC2872.
