Yellowy slinky pale she hangs above
Dipping in and around smoky grayness
Flaunting, she teases and steals my love
Hiding her shine showing only vainness
Changing colors like disposable moods
Inviting one night then angry scarlet
The night sky flexes with her attitudes
You flirt then disappear like a harlot
Rotating defiantly but hiding her face
Powerfully bending her orbital concavity
She’d love to spin away without a trace
Never breaking free of our cogent gravity
Outraged, maddening she stands mystified
The passion and pull does not go overlooked
Whipping the tides and topsy turvy inside
Observers flock, admirers reluctantly hooked
She feels like a planetary stepchild
No atmosphere or change of season
Our histories fractured not reconciled
Earthlings fascinated beyond any reason
Fully round or bleeding crimson complexion
Spectacular changes delight and tantalize
Discovering each surface imperfection
Before vanishing again with each sunrise
Ticket 2 Ride
