I live by this principle:
A person is like a planet,
Waiting to be explored.

It’s why I poke and prod,
Investigate, pry in caves
And crevices I shouldn’t.

I am searching for a conclusion, if
The planet is
Hospitable and Habitable,
Or Hostile and Hateful.

Sometimes a planet
Is lush and full of clear waters,
Pockmarked with craters and meteors.

Other times they are
Filled with raging volcanoes
And sulfuric rain.

But if I love a planet —
I invite them to stay in my
Orbit.
