Translation of the poem Material Number 747 by the artist:

Steel will of mechanical movement
Throwing up four thousand tons of metal
Rising thirty seven thousand feet
Speeding nine hundred fifty six kilometers
Across the limited values of east to west
Mistakenly entering the edge of high society
Liquid cleansed redemption
Useless in low pressure rectangular moving space
But arouses primal instinct
Releasing explosive desire compressed from single molecule
Facing the essence of void
Into the ultimate silent position
Chasing the root of the universe
Making a graph of the origin and terminus
Returning life to hallucinatory genuine illusion
Stopping unlimited time suspended waste
Circling on a dot
Receiving eternal
Indestructible material
