Here's a slender critter with short fur like silvery frost on yellow skin, all long limbs and a longer tail, sharp elbows and big purple eyes. A lemur; five and a half feet of springy prosimianity with a sunny triangle of a face, perky ears and a short muzzle. Right now xe's wearing a flying suit, snug fabric up to xer chin, like xe dipped xerself in purple paint, tail and all. Over that xe's wearing bulky, stubby-fingered purple gloves that just scream tranquility base, the lemur has landed and blocky, thick-soled space boots. Xe's got on cute round purple goggles and an aerodynamic purple helmet, too, like a big raindrop. (Today, anyhow! -Z) |

Here's a lean and long-limbed creature, a wide-eyed thing with slender ears and an irrepressible tail-- A lemur! This one has yellow skin, sun-touched along freckled shoulders and the top of xer cheery muzzle. Xer ears are narrow triangles, pale and pastel at the tips. Xer eyes are glossy purple, xer nose and tongue are purple, too! That tail's quite the thing, five feet long and nimble as xer hands and feet-- Zee's a little taller, but not as skinny. Xer voice is a warm alto, quick and dreamy. |

Zee is a Star-Lemur!
Zee flew all over Downwarp on a sleek purple hoverwing. Exploring, maybe, around the Ballard Memorial Freeway. Xe's done now.
You will come to a place where the streets are not marked.
Some windows are lighted. But mostly they're darked.
A place you could sprain both your elbow and chin!
Do you dare to stay out? Do you dare to go in?
How much can you lose? How much can you win?
--Dr. Seuss, "Oh, the Places You'll Go!"
Zee's been seen in Topwarp, too, climbing around Mt. Vinge. Climbing's way crash!
Can you find the hidden 'H'
Where it's hiding?
Is it on the ground
Or in the sky
Or part of something here?
Does it fit somewhere inside?
Is there somewhere it can hide?
Can you find it?
--They Might Be Giants, "Can You Find It?"
