ALIEN ON CLOUD NINE

Folder: 
CONVENIENT GAPS

 

 

Aladdin’s lamp overthrown

in a hazy dream clone

of the eternal mind;

 

an alien on cloud nine

picks us up and puts us back down

we wait to find the blue town

 

crawling little rodents

entering a yard for rent

psychedelic ice tea in a bag

 

but that isn’t a drag

cursing the wind and fire eyes

we drop down to touch our thighs

 

 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

one of those teenage laments
