free-floating, untethered like a chimney-sweep orphan it swirls alone in space no star nearby, no system to call it home free, wandering, swaying to a symphony of embracing silence
there are possibly millions these drifters, these mavericks, rogues sub-stellar, not mainstream no pull on each
not your usual planet with position, star-bound and mooned but a maverick, free, solitary untethered, untethered, indie planet in no one’s sway ….a maverick, it does it all its own way….
