………..
Touch down. >
I have touched down
And I have landed
On this strange terrain,
Me and my kind.
Here, many things are different
From my world.
In this world
Every thing is big.
The Terminals are huge
And I can walk for miles
In them.
There is lots of food every where
And they don't cost much.
And all of the money here
Is the same color.
Which confuses me
Only the numbers and faces
of their past leaders
Differentiate them.
Every thing is big
The walls are huge,
The buildings are gigantic,
The roads are wide
And long.
Everyone is driving
On the wrong side
Of the road.
It is confusing.
And the cities are large
And the streets go every where.
And the street crafts have
Funny numbers on them.
The inhabitants talk funny
And they cannot understand
My language unless
I speak slowly
Or in their language.
Otherwise they don't
Know that I am a visitor
From another planet.
Ø I ware a disguise
As I walk among
The populace
So that I can look like them
And sound like them
And I can act as if
I know what I am doing
And where I am going
And what I am saying
So they won't make me out
And alienate me.
But fortunately
The inhabitants I have made contact with
Have welcomed me and
Treated me well
Thus far.
But I have heard
Stories of visitors
Who have been exiled
Or mistreated.
Still I most adjust
to the strange weather
patterns down here.
Because the sun stays up
Longer than it is suppose to.
At least at this sidereal period.
And at 1800 hours
It looks like noon.
I will continue to wear my
Disguise and get adjusted
To this new planet.
But I know that
They will still figure out
My true identity.
For I am strange and unique.
I am…
An Alien.
