Planet:
of Greek origin,
“planetes”
--wanderer.
We study:
nine
celestial bodies,
circling in
perfect
harmonious
orbit,
never deviating
from the
path
yet
still
wandering
through
white
star speckled
universe.
You
and
I—
also planetary.
On an
unchanging course,
yet
does the planet
itself
realize
its
imminent
path
when rushing
by meteors,
asteroids,
other planets--
or does it
believe itself
to be
only
a solitary
wanderer,
doomed to
chart its
own
unseeing
way,
heedless of
others
making the
exact
journey—
and does it
forget
that it
has been there
&
done it all
before?
