Poetry Pop-up: Poetic Mechanics

A group gathers at the corner of a diorama case. One man sits a desk with a typerwriter. He looks up to a family of three standing over him. The man in the middle stands with arms around the other two individuals. Both are smiling down at the man seated at the desk. A black box with a glass front holds a rock specimen and is propped up against the leg of the desk.

In a 1922 Charles Knight mural, a group of Protoceratops gather on a sandy hill, one watching over a clutch of eggs, while two stand nearby. Another in the background eats leaves from a small tree.
