The Launch of Red Spot, Jr.

Deborah P Kolodji

Scientists have noticed a new spot on Jupiter, dubbed "Red Spot, Jr."  They think it may signal potential climatic changes, but what's the real story?

She wore red
to match the new spot,
we were all bored
with the white ovalness
of last year’s surface fashions.

Storms rising
to the top of the cloud deck
we sip meteorite brew,
speak of the earthlings
and their camera-happy
tourist robot ships.

As the party ends
with scarlet brilliance
signaling Jupiter’s new landmark,
we decide to monitor
those third planet transmissions
just for laughs.
