In the fullness of time
I will stabilize,
I will find my proper orbit
Among the gassy giants.
Once in place and with a sense of purpose,
I will spin,
Not erratically,
But with precision.
My magnetic fields will generate
An atomic hum
That submarines may use
To measure delta-tees,
That stopwatch-clickers may consult
To calibrate their chronographs;
A periodic pulse
The solar system may depend on
To correct for minor
Gravitational spasms.
Thus I'll devote my narrowing existence
To acts that benefit
The cosmic totality.
