Aliens

by Richard Tornello

Aliens are not too different than you or me.
They just have way better technology.

In plain sight!

They can hide themselves and their flying machines
(Cloaked we call it, but it's bending light),
Our radar and our sensors cannot detect,
when they visit Earth,
or
simply park,
(yawn),
and want to rest.

They come to visit like tourists from Rome,
to see the sights, and take pictures home;
pictures of Earth, the people, and taste our food,
and record the strange things, that we sometimes do.

Their body structures appear to be:
heads and arms, mouths and eyes
legs and feet…but thoughts that fly!
And my dear,
That's the difference between them,
and you,
and me.

All in all,
I'd say they're much like me, and much like you.
I'd sure like to meet some…wouldn't you?
