The Moons of Jupiter

Are there really only 16?
What happens on the moons of Jupiter?
Can alien women leap frog
from one to another?
Like a licking lollipop tasting--
flitting from raspberry to rootbeer?

Maybe the 16 moons are 16 phases--
but of what? for whom? and WHY?

Cosmic questions
to be sure.

I must have been a marble in a past life.
Cat's eye.
Or snake eyes on a pair of red graphite dice.

Worn. So warn--with skid marks across the dust.

When you see sand dunes in the movies,
do you ever want to roll down them?
Leaving rippled groves on their perfect plains?

Sweet 16. 16 moons of Jupiter.
