inspired by the relationship between the planets and the sun
Sun,
I admire the way you keep your
children aligned,
how you keep them from bumping
heads,
how you still include Pluto,
though he is far from your heat,
But how do you feel when the
little beings inside your children
fight over who is the best?
Earth excluded Pluto, Uranus
fights for his name,
Venus is sexualized, and Saturn
is admired for his rings.
How did Jupiter get that red
spot? Was it because he tried to become as large as you?
Do you fear Neptune will move far
away from you?
At least Mercury stays close to
you, even though he can feel your burning stare.
