A Poetic Defense for Pluto

All the planets out to Saturn, since they’ve been known since antiquity, were originally believed to be woven into the same cloth that cloaked the earth at night. Then Copernicus, then the telescope, then the agreed pronouncement they are a lot further out than are expected, some more than others. So when Neptune and Uranus were discovered, all anyone could think of was “That’s a long way out.” Far into the arctic of space. So far, that all we believed was “cold.” Poor Pluto didn’t stand a chance. Banished to these outer realms, the frozen corners of the solar system, beyond where our imagination went by itself. All the great aliens come from Mars, or another Earth-like planet. Neptune, Uranus and Pluto were doomed to frigid exile.

But it’s not fair, because it’s always midnight on Pluto. And where its always midnight, it’s always the perfect place for a gumshoe with a sordid past to set up shop. An urban vigilante, who, for the right price, sometimes none at all, will right the wrongs of the city.

You may no longer be a planet, Pluto. But you’re an all-night-diner away from a film noir revival.

The Components of A Good Meal

- A week of eating at home, preferably working through a big pot of chili or casserole.

- An unexpected encounter with a friend who’s heart is heavy with nothing.

- A restaurant never ventured in before because the exterior was too humble, the neighborhood mid-scale, the parking nonexistent.

- A weakness for broth.

- A dish your mother could write a recipe for by just tasting it. It reminds her of her grandmother.

- A portion just large enough to be finish-able.

- A friendly and industrious restaurant owner who clears your dishes and leaves mints behind.

- A short walk afterward.

EPIC MUSICIANS AND MUSIC MAKERS NEEDED

On long trips through space, music will be hugely important. You’ll be able to listen to things for days, weeks, months! Years! The three minute pop song will be replaced by the three hour pop song! So get ready, musicians. Get ready, studio geniuses.

You might think it’s a little early to get started. We just decommissioned the space shuttle, and James Cameron decided he wanted to go to the bottom of the ocean, not the Moon.

But buck up, young space-loving futurist musician! Nearly every year we’re shooting out satellites to explore the particle seas of space. We have watchful eyes circling planets and moons. The Voyagers are outrunning the solar wind at the heliopause. Our telescopes are discovering new solar systems like they’ve just been marked down.

And every day, some young pup picks up a Ray Bradbury sci-fi collection or learns who Chuck Yeager is.
