When Unidentifiable Beings Meet
Sponge-brained Bobby gulped air
through his underwater respirator.
Alien squid pulsed signaling sentience,
its bulbous head
swelling as it curiously explored
the artificial sea-life before it.
Bobby the deep-diver waved,
made rude inexplicable signs
with his five fingered flippers.
Alien squid
reported the sighting,
but his meeting with the frogman
could not be confirmed,
and so the giant squid populous
kept on believing
that they were the only intelligent life form
in the entire watery universe,
and they were right
on so many fathomless levels.
