BEATING AROUND THE MILKYWAY

BEATING AROUND THE MILKYWAY

Tell me...

How do I catch Mercury or briefly
dim Mars? How does it feel to make love to Venus?
Can one out swim Neptune or skate on Saturn's rings?
Can one win a sumo with Jupiter despite its
magnitude?

To know...

What turns a comet into a bully? And what cosmic joke
incites Sol to flare or Aurora Borealis to bare her thighs?
Does a nebula know where to begin cleaning the turmoil within?
I ask, "In this mix of particle, plasma, gas, and scatter, does anyone
love an outcast like anti-matter?"

How long will...

Earth be able to turn her cheek from stellar poundings seven days a week?
Will pluto remain mum despite having been smitten? Will Uranus, brunt of
countless jest, continue to ignore her offspring?

Lastly, do black holes ever push?
