the gas giants - 
by n j w

the gas giants speak loud in the night 
 while quiet more solid bodies 
 go unheard in the heavens
 
those rocky worlds pace alone 
 their elsewhere eyes as far 
 as can be from telescope
 
the smallest objects are numbered
 but unnamed, concealed in the 
 distant sense that every other orbit 
 is greater than their own
 
take Jupiter - it has the next gen 
 touch screen, straight up big ass moons
 all it owns is rarely used 
 its greed and gravity pulls all in 
 for itself and is dead behind the eye
 
Neptunes got an aircon leather
 pet meteor showers that match their sofas 
 ten square marble breakfast bar 
 they proclaim "they work so hard for"
 
Saturn - what a beauty 
 with thirteen confirmed kills 
 and a ring for everyone 
 
the cold purifies, the icy spheres
 live out in damp, narrow circles 
 that take decades to conclude but
 at least they are solid, they have substance 
 
be thankful if you are not like the gas giants 
 rejoice cause it will not occur to them 
 what is missing from their worlds
