Pluto, Speak

We have a probe near Pluto. It has a bright spot. Holy shit. http://t.co/HsirKvdxAA pic.twitter.com/SOld5O91ZE

Pluto, Speak

Pluto, Speak, You are a planet,

Then you weren't

Then you were, er, are,

Or Are you?

We Earthlings are distracted,

By other Earthlings,

Mean, Ugly, Adorable, Nice,

They come in all varieties of the same strand.

So as the Twitter feed goes rolling by,

I do try to select the Astronomical Tweets,

Filter out the weird, boring, repetitive.

There was this one of Pluto,

I knew it meant a lot, 

Right after I saw Titan's lakes.

So what are those lights,

or fires, lava,

or something we don't know yet?

Perhaps Pluto will Speak to us,

What are those lights?
