Alter Image
There it is -
a giant lizard
or is it only
the image of his scrawny neck
with its large bobbing apple
that has misled me?
Yes,
folks can be cruel about appearance,
he might be beautiful on the inside,
but his skin! His eyes
are really black and glassy
and they bulge!
I suspect he actually is
an alien lizard being
he's testing me
making me judge him.
One more
reptilian alien interloper
sent to this planet,
their mission:
just to make me look bad,
but I already look bad.
