view from airplane near Grand Canyon
I’ve been waiting for them …
could they be anymore alien
than you and me?
Appearances are misgiving
given an appearance can
give you a miss in the give
No matter what you think
you saw or see on the surface
is like any other story
you make up cause you can
and your brain needs you to
make sense of what you see
Make sense of all those feelings
struck in the awe of differences
and in Holy shit what is that?
We’re pretty alien if seen
from a certain perspective
I’m sure of that
They’re here. Always have been
only I want the space ships
and all the cosmic fanfare
with all the “oh My God”
and “It’s about time” and
“Look at that shit”,
Rolling off the lips of
the believers and the non-
believers cause their close now
Starfleet captains all hail
the way to Earth hovering
in the mystified zone
Hoping our limited 3D world
catches up for the receiving
Cause brothers and sisters
Their revelation is upon us
and my childhood stare and
wish out into the Universe
Is at last to be qualified and
quantified in the big Yippee
“They’re Here.”
