Threatening to cross the Earth’s elliptic I lumber fatly Too big to be like Jupiter, too small to be a star I have no sky clique in the shape of a mythic beast, no A-List identity Only a troublesome borderline pathway, too dim and distant to be clearly determined I think I will vary my route, in my sullen brown dwarfish way Graze the surface of the earth Mate with the sun And blow all the telescopes to burning bits |

What an interesting twist; the cosmos turning the tables on us!
I liked having the story from the planet’s pov. :)
“lumber fatly” — sooooo good, wish I had penned. most excellent response to the theme. peace…
A planet with a complex! Cool concept. Love “lumber fatly” and “Mate with the sun,” a source of power.
A planet with an identity problem and a lot of attitude! A nice, creative way of looking at this theme. Thanks!
Thank you for reading an commenting. I miss Pluto, and I think it must have hurt feelings.
