Notes About The Poem
Serling vs Roddenberry vs Hitchcock Poetry Contest by Tom Woody
3rd Place winner!!!
Interpreting The Lost Archives of Phlacknoktinok
They’re not human, not even humanoid
These creatures' presence in our archeological history
Once considered a naturally occurring phenomenon
But only recently discovered otherwise
And were only hinted at by geologist nuts
Who believed Fairies had inscribed
These strange triangles on the surface of Quartz crystals
Not too far from the truth ...
After careful scrutiny, famed archeologist, Dr. Carol Lewis, PhD
Has made her announcement in "The Scientific Journal, Vol. MMMCLXXIII,
Unclassified Documents, (May 2035), Article: Interpretation of the Mysterious Triangles on Quartz Crystals”, pages 74-78, 94, and 96.
Dr. Lewis has proclaimed that her deciphering has uncovered
An ancient civilization, that after carbon dating
Existed more than 2.5 billion years ago
A time before Man, before dinosaurs, before time ...
The following is an excerpt of her work:
THE LOST ARHIVES OF PHLACKNOKTINOK
DURING ECLIPSE (OF) *undecipherable* BIG NEWS
SOFT ROCK ONES SLIP (THROUGHOUT) TIME
(IN) MIRROR SHELLED CRAFT (TO) GLIMPSE
REFRACTION (OF) *undecipherable* BENDING
CONTACT SUCCESSFUL. FACE (TO) FACE INEVITABLE.
FLOW (WITH THE) LIGHT.
- Presumably the author's signature and date
Meanwhile, we have made numerous attempts to contact Dr.Lewis
for any comments on her article but she has mysteriously gone missing ...
Most likely into the far regions of The Twilight Zone.
