Alien
I'm in an alien world with
alien people.
making alien sounds with their
alien faces; their bodies foreign
their life distant
they come in pods
And I am scared
I jut out my chin and proclaim:
"different!"
and yet I lose myself amongst their
alien chaos, alien flow of this
alien crowd
and blur the edges I hate
Slowly
as a girl comes to realize the fragile
deja vu of
what could have been...
to submit that it could happen.
And then the
alien noises suddenly
die down to just the twittering of birds
and I know that
I am
not above
them.
