Astronomy

"What are you?"

 

Jupiter turns

"That depends. Some say a god.

Some say a planet."

 

"Both?"

 

"I doubt it."

 

"Don't you know?"

 

"Only once you've decided."

 

"But why? I'm not god."

 

"Neither am I."

 

"So I decided you aren't?"

 

"Unless you change your mind."

 

"But it's not made up."

 

"Then I suppose I'm both."

 

"But you said you weren't."

 

"Because you never made up your mind."

 

"Then I decide you're a planet."

 

"Perhaps, but you still haven't made up your mind."

 

The boy took his eye off the telescope

Astronomy was confusing
