Does it have to be all the awe and mystery of science fiction
why not a proclamation from your neighbour about his mild affliction
that some possess the knowledge of where 'they' are
and it's not like affronting visiting spaceships from afar.

Could it be the salesman who knocks at your house with brushes and combs
or a weary space traveller calling new recruits on the phone;
how about the witch who lives in the forest and collects cats
could she be the one in touch with outer worlds like that?


do you suspect that there are friends obsessed with galactic visitations
annual sitings of strange flying objects have peaked some notation
strange worlds do surround us, psychic thinkers have maintained
this is the way of the earth in the worldly plan they ordain.

strange worlds do surround us
So they say, so we think. But could it be that our world is the strange one or the stranger.

I really enjoyed this ecrivan

Dark Angel,

What you say is true but I'm going on the meaning that strange also means alien to us and not just bizarre.

Seymour,

It is all strange
