Let’s hear it for Jupiter,
And for blades of grass.
Jupiter is the largest planet.
The blades of grass
Are almost numberless.
Jupiter is storm, the blades of grass
Are stepped on.
Petal by petal this cathedral
Passes into autumn.

Wow…I was totally floored by this. Had me saying damn and wow and that last line or last two lines – “Petal by petal this cathedral
Passes into autumn”. – well, here i go again – damn and wow and well I couldn’t resist returning to a Sun Ra piece that I will forever associate with your poem now

Thanks Steve! Space is the Place, as Sun Ra would say. Thanks for sharing that song. It’s fantastic. I woke up this morning and read in the news they found a new moon orbiting Uranus. It’s small, only 6 miles across. Looks like space is the theme today.

foul weather is to be expected, no? but keeping us unaware of what’s going on with the other planets and moons?….that’s downright cruel because we had a chance that one night.

Thanks Micheal. We’ve had a cold spell here. And it feels like autumn the last few days. But I have to admit, I’m not ready to let summer go yet. Though it’s been too hot this year.

That cold spell skipped us, but I have a feeling it’ll be around soon. Yeah, I think all around the summer has been too warm for those of us who don’t care for very warm temps.
