Even the most dignified monuments in
that cemetery seem insignificant,
belittled by the massive spaceship (its shape,
a geometric travesty---to our eyes
disorienting)

it lowered, almost delicately, among
the graves (none of which were disturbed) as if to
respect the dead, despite disdainful silence
toward us---the alive.

This Island Earth (1955)
The sci-fi reference reminded me of a 1955 flick, This Island Earth (1955) which I had the privilege to view the previous day. And many emotions and thoughts that went along in its themes and undertones: respect, belittling, and disorientating realities. A fine blend to thus employ the sci-fi genre and jargon in poetry. That's the good stuff!
