Is it a planet? Is it a planet? Gravity nominal. Read out:
no metal core.
In the outer reaches
I sometimes run into another
set of headlamps
still on.
Body shape around it.
Kick it. Switch channels. Kick it.
Switch channels.
Bend down and send light into what looks like
the front of its helmet.
Where eyes should be. As far as I know. Switch channels.
Report back to my wrecker runabout.
Nothing but ice and rock. Not a planet. Let's keep looking,
Jackal. The name of my runabout and child to my wrecker
waiting in the dark where the ice balls are smaller and
no risk to her armor.
For keepsake when I take Jackal back in and the wrecker
back to my station
outside of the ecliptic and inside the Oort cloud.
Like minded individuals have tried before me.
Each one of us,
some lost,
a little further from the sun
in darkness to see.
