Side by side

Penelope

1
Penelope
is a spider
that spins
a web
the web is Penelope’s
Odyssey

2
Penelope is
always
sitting down

3
Ulysses is abstract
Penelope is concrete
the web is abstract
and concrete

4
Penelope gets married
to Homer
Ulysses
never lands

Penelope

1
Penélope
é uma aranha
que faz
uma teia
a teia é a Odisseia
de Penélope

2
Penélope está
sempre
sentada

3
Ulisses é abstracto
Penélope é concreta
a teia é abstracta
e concreta

4
Penélope casa-se
com Homero
Ulisses fica a ver
navios
