the
alien
(ulmer/rascan)
a deathly calm hung over the valley
as i landed between the treez
a clearing my spaceship had see in the telescope
from three thousand parsecz away
cosmetically fashioned to dress stock statistical
my background being devised
a bus for the village of harvest hill
where my habitat station would lie
the
mainstreet was dossier
straight from the manuscript briefing i had consumed
into the coffee bar
converse with the localz
accepted as a wanderer
they told me their stories
weaving their fantasies
born of their dreamz of the world
stayed me a home of sorts out in the hillz
while my memory bankz filled in time
i am
the alien
borne out of metal
+ bred for the purpose of learning
every word that is said
is stored inside my head for relaying
to the satellite sunz
of the m31 spiral galaxy
fit so well they can't tell that i'm different
ten
yearz have passed on earth
as my batteriez have gathered informative viewz
with a wife + a family
living in harmony
with the newsreel competative scale
my social connectionz + favoured affectionz
reflecting my futuristic viewz
a member of public
well known in the gossip
noone really knowing the truth
i am
the alien
borne out of metal
+ bred for the purpose of learning
every word that is said
is stored inside my head for relaying
to the satellite sunz
of the m31 spiral galaxy
fit so well they can't tell that i'm different
from
way in the cosmos
a message they send me
receive another one of my own
creditz i'm shown identity unknown to me
precaution in case we're discovered
she has chosen a town in which she will live
to channel her learning back home
as we spread across your planet to sustain our existance
+ regain all the thingz we have lost
