A Logical Analysis of Events So Far

Floaters crisscross blinking eyes. After a brief scientific analysis it is concluded that an invasion of minute alien spacecraft has occurred. An optician assures: these aberrant phenomena are perfectly normal for a non-perfect being. Unverified estimates of an unknown illness; projections of billions of invasive germs follow, tank-like organisms working overtime to smash through flesh and plasma reigning shock-shells of dissolution onto peace loving white knights. It is to be hoped that microbial barbaric and brawny hosts of avenging bacteria will soon assault these malignant besiegers from the rear. Surprise attacks from all sides until the munching, mad germs in their pointy Prussian war helmets are subdued, but it’s touch and go it can turn out either way. The day is spent ignoring simple explanations of ocular spots knowing for certain only infected spacecraft can possibly maneuver like that.

Interesting. As one who suffers from macular degeneration, I can relate. My floaters dark to and fro like alien ships. Loved this poem, too. Mark, whatever you do, keep writing and keep sharing your work here. You have an avid fan!!!
