a love letter to pluto

the small one, the weak one
the wallflower of our solar system
some say you don’t matter
with all that matter
but I say you do

you see, you’re still a rocky mass
a sight to behold
if you had an atmosphere
I’m sure it would have worked
though none of us can be too sure

to me you’re still a planet
existing and floating through time
remind us that you’re there
give us a ring sometime
& we’ll catch you on the next revolution
