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.
