Notes About The Poem

US UFO hearing key takeaway:
'Graves said UFO objects had been detected “essentially where all navy operations are being conducted across the world”. Asked if there were any common characteristics to the UFOs that have been cited by different pilots, Graves says sightings were primarily of “dark grey or black cubes inside of clear sphere” where “the apex or tips of the cube were touching the inside of the sphere”.'

How To Meet An Alien

Don't look for feet, do they need them?
Why look for heads, when tails would do?
Why search for bipeds when centipedes crawl so well?
Why should they look anything like us?
Heaven forbid!
For alien is extraneous by definition
They are probably already here among us now!
How could we ever know?
Especially when we are looking in the wrong places
For beings kinda like us, not truly oddball, weird, otherworldly,
Aliens are well beyond are sensibilities
well beyond the reach of our puny
earthling senses, scopes and scope.

Gershon Wolf July 26, 2023 at 8:21 PM Makes perfect sense to me, John. Oh! I think I saw a whole group of those aliens coming out of this huge white building at the end of Pennsylvania Ave. in Washington, D.C... I see that you are spot-on: They look, think, talk, act nothing like the rest of us. Must be aliens! lol. Thanks for the thought-provoker, Gershon John Anderson July 26, 2023 at 8:39 PM good one cheers
