woke today
imagining
peering far beyond our
solar system
as if for the first time
seeing measured light--
two supersized gas planets
orbiting
closely
distant stars
two giant planets
made of
hot
swirling gases
1, 340 degrees Fahrenheit
or higher
Compared with this
newseen
lit blaze
our infrared signature
must seem
watery
weak
cold
crystall'd
