SCI-FI/FANTASY Poem: ALOUDALIENPOEM (or the Fermi-Paradox – us and aliens), by Jana Tvorogova

(!)
Aliens

I wanted them to be like death
Seemingly far away
But knowing that I will be meeting them for sure
Knowing that I have a rendez-vous with them

Knowing that the very thought of them
Will stumble into my soul
Not now, of course
I am not yet red meat
I am not this yet

(!)
What is the name… among us?
Is it necessary?
Is it empty?
Is it temporary?

What a laugh!
Aliens
They are too pure for us anyway
Unlike rats and pigeons
We don’t seem to want them
But
Aliens!

(!)
They are not like a certain death

They don’t give a damn about us
Just like we don’t give a damn about fish

Maybe we are fish to them
With small brains, useless flesh and soulless hearts
Maybe we are homeless fish to them

But
(!)
I am no fish!
I don’t want to be fish to them
Want to be their friend, their enemy, their threat, their experiment, nude as a chicken for them
But not fish
That’s pretty unfair if you ask me
That they think we are fish
That they don’t want to kill, kill, kill
I mean
