Impressions From An Alien

A kaleidoscope of shapes and colors Flash through my mind, myriads of magic, Impressions coloring this mystical world That is the future, another place in time Calling to me with voices from silence, To return from my exploration of earth's Vast megalopolis where I am the alien, Where I am the unidentified foreigner. 'Twas a strange place I tell you now Where strange creatures crawled about-- Thousands of them moving in patterns Drawn in spaces between their lodgings Tall towers and pyramid-shaped inverted Cones where they raise their odd spawn.
