illegal aliens

One evening, in a sleepy Connecticut town, the locals saw a peculiar sight, a UAP had landed in an empty field, and man, it lit up the night. They were, axiomatically, from a distant galaxy, here to explore our shared cosmic space, their metallic-phallic-rocket was multicolor pastel bright, like a carnival showcase. There were cows that mooed approvingly and dogs that barked up at the sky, like they needed to show where the thing came from - no one really knew why. Soon little green people-like beings emerged, they had big, wide eyes that looked eerie, but then again, this is how they’d always looked in movies and on TV. "Take us to your leader," they said, but it was hard to take them seriously, because this is America and most of us disagree on who that leader should be. Someone brought out lawn chairs and the alien-astronauts settled in, tables appeared shortly thereafter with a spread of pies, casseroles and fried chicken. They spoke of their interstellar journeys, of planets far and wide, of space cafes and wormhole highways and how gravity worked like tides. One of the kids played some music and the explorers started to move, soon we were having a dance-off - which they won - with some wacky, cosmic moves. As morning light edged the horizon, our little green friends waved goodbye, after saying that in some ways they envied us and our simple terrestrial lives. Though they never promised to revisit, when the sky turns certain shade of blue, townsfolk will set up a pasture party - just in case they do. . . *Webster: Axiomatic: something understood as obviously true
