PLUTO
To Alan Stern*
A cold and distant world,
a planet is a small
dream paradise
in the solar system:
Pluto, the dwarf planet
stays three billion years
from the Sun
and almost ten years
of the spacecraft Horizon
from Earth.
Alan Stern waits:
there will be photographs
of the Plutonic five Moons,
enough to drive an astronomer
or a lunatic poet
out of their minds.
*Alan Stern is an astronomer
and great supporter of the
mission to Pluto.
