alienheart (Free verse) by Bill Z Bub i
look up with pinwheel eye
and magnify:
zeta reticuli!
everything is turning grey;
gelatinous sky &
rooves of snow.
my love is strange today,
with almond eye, obsidian glow.
watching lights change
from red
to go.
my alien heart rising,
a halcyon UFO.
ii
you are majestic
true majic,
let me abduct you
to my freaky laboratory.
i need a sample for my planet
but thats just part of the story.
ancient astronauts have claimed such territory
but I'm faking footprints
on the pyramids of mars.
lets secretly strip
have some fun,
i want to touch your
area 51.
you can be my agent Scully
I'll be a lone nut with a gun.
when you're done with me
I'll need an autopsy.
making circles in the crops
with bodies of bendy.
time seems elastic,
the missing hours
swing away.
what switch
in our alien hearts
makes us part?
we're in balance
we twins of the zodiac.
looking for rest
or a phone
to call home.
Up the ladder:
Front, Porch, Swing.
Down the ladder:
Omerta el prostitute

watch out for them probes.
Hee! I love this! Playful, adept, "true majic."
well, well, well done!
the split and twisted cliches, the tweaked grammar and spellings, the lilty-playfulness of it all... marvel, admire, praise...i am.
what is a pinwheel eye? And I have no idea what "i want to touch your
area 51 you can be my agent Scully" but I like it. Pretty good stuff; just needs a bit of tightening.
Area 51 is a US Airforce base in the Nevada(?) desert, which is well known to conspiracy buffs, UFO researchers, and Roswell believers.
It allegedly houses crashed flying saucers and/or aliens and/or secret gov't UFO experiments. Agent Scully is the red headed female FBI agent from the TV show The X-Files who is a sceptic, and a hottie, and often performs autopsies. A Pinwheel eye is ... er... next question!
Pinwheel eye made me think of those those typical sci-fi- movie "shots-from-underneath" of the UFO, with the spinning bottom, like an eye. Of course, then it'd be "I look up at pinwheel eye" I suppose . . . but it worked for me as is.
Oh, I thought is where they tested atomic bombs and hangar 18 is where the kept the aliens. I have no idea who Scully is. I am completely out of touch with TV pop culture, but what a line.
you really never saw the x-files? not even at the outset?
what about twin peaks? did you catch that?
I do know X-files, but I have never seen it. I have also heard of Twin Peaks (David Lynch) but have never seen it. I have never played D&D, but I have heard about it. I know who Jerry Seinfeld is but I have never seen his show? As I said, when it comes to TV pop culture I fail miserably. I have never done heroin, but I know what it is. I have never been in the Brig, but I also know what that is. I have never eaten at Boston Chicken, but there is one within two miles of my house. Anything else?
do you know what kindness is? It was an episode once, on Andy Griffith. The new boy rolled into town, a jew poor thing, and nobody understood Hanukkah. Except of course Opie, he invited him to dinner. His Aunt made bitter greens and Barney brought fresh rolls from the neighborhood bakery. Everybody had a good laugh.
What are you talking about. Of course I know what kindness is.
Of course you do, that's my point . Who needs to see it on television?
But what does that have to do with me not understanding the references in this poem? Are you drunk? Is your lover there tonight?
yes I'm drunk. No my lover just left. What was the next question?
But what does that have to do with me not understanding the references in this poem? Are you drunk with love? Or just drunk? Is it pure? Can I touch your area 51?
You made your lover leave at the witching hour? You are a secure woman. I am proud of you.
We each have work in the morning, otherwise he'd be here all night. He's warm, and big- tall I mean. He grew a beard for me. He loves me.
Does the beard make him look more intellectual? He cannot stay, get up early and leave. Does he not have the preverbal drawer at you house? Does he comb his hair proper? I cannot remember the last time I combed my hair.
How tall? Is that all you want, is to be loved?
Is that so wrong??? He's 6 foot even. The beard makes him look rough, nasty. It's easier with the boy if he's not here in the morning. Joey likes pancakes, for my love it's oatmeal.
No, it is not.
Oh yeah, television references, they're useless, that's my point. I went to a party about 5 years ago and everybody was taking t.v and movies. I said to someone, "whatever happened to the literary reference". They said "she left for better climes".
I suppose I do not go to that type of party. Mine are full of bastards with diplomas, you know. Lonely bastards who only sit at the bar so they can always look in the mirror and keep themselves company. Did you know that in Russia it is only right for serious drunkards and scholars to drink alone? Otherwise, you are breaking social mores.
sorry friend, not only could i and can i out drink you in the most severest of ways, but i would do it while holding your quill between my teeth and chandolier swinging the hula team.
i'm younger with less restraints, and i unlike you have a sense of humor, than again "this is not the first time you tried to get away....if we get the room one more night...this is not a horse race were winners beat the time..this is not a funeral with mourners in a line...this is not a party where people know your name...this is not a classroom with teacher at the board. this is not a atilla with his mighty hoarde GO! DON'T YOU GOOOO OH OH! WONT YOU STAY WITH ME ONE MORE DAY... if we get the room one more night"
is it so wrong to make funny words for the tv generation,
why is okay to make a reference to a book but not a tv show? because you and your friends have read the book? Its all just beautiful stories oh well
Good questions boy, but right now I have to go help an old lady get into bed. I'll tackle you tomorrow, sometime after noon. I am the TEEVEE generation. 6 yrs old 12" from the black and white, I watched us walking. On the moon.
I saw a Kennedy shot not once but twice.
the moon! wish i could have seen that, but i'm a child of the 70's in the year of the rat.
A rat?! A Rat really? well no wonder we have a kinship. My darling rats so diligent and out of touch. Rats always survive. i follow them quietly and make them fall in love with my elegance. My dear sweet rats.
~squeeeeeeeeeek~
could you possibly be more suspicious?
Oh, now it is back to the more gentle, loving horus8.
Hangar 18 is located in Area 51.
This poem is terrible. Get rid of the references. Are young men so really hard-up they'll fuck a-sexual green mini-beings?
But I want to touch your area 51. Come on, please.
You know this isn't really about sex with aliens, right?
Not so much hard-up, as just plain horny.
Horny like a Satyr in the Year of the Goat. Horny like the devil.
hey wait a minute...."all dressed up with no where to go, walking with a dead man, i was struck by lightning walking down the street....don't run AWAY IT'S ONLY ME...DON'T BE AFRAID OF WHAT YOU CA AH AH AH AHANT' SEE..."10Y
Bought back bad memories of the 'probe violation' i suffered at the hands of Darth Invader, hes a dirty bastard.
Bill, as an unashamed UFO etc. devotee (but a skeptical one), I dig the references. Scully is a total and utter hottie. I'm not into David Lynch, but D&D is one of my guiltier pleasures. I like the poem.
why the re-post?
Because I changed a few words.
Also, I'm trolling for more votes. :^P
FREE PORN FOR THE FIRST TEN VOTES!
A mish-mosh.
This poem seriously rocks, however I'm not 100 per cent sure that the TV references etc do work-even so, I can't really see anything else working so all I can say is "nice one!". 9
"what switch
in our alien hearts makes us part?" needs one more word like 'today' or jete' crochet j-bay (just kidding on the last one) or some down beat otherwise a serious favorite of mine..i realize i've been giving you votes in this run that will keep you from re-editing, that's cool, i understand..these poems are really moving and sculpted, and i don't blame you. enjoy.
Eight is my favorite number,
thankyou for all the kind words and encouragement. it means a lot to me at this juncture. By the way, I finally found "Gangbox" and am listening to "Growl" right now. Fucking amazing! And after seeing your picture, I now believe everything you've ever said. Forgive this skeptic... Now I shall do an magic tricke, and shrink into nothingness, walk away on molecules of atmosphere, smaller than a blood clot... s.s.s.s..ss.so necessary so necessary so right on time in a blind taste test three out of five goatmen prefer the taste of hormone injected sugarcoated flax nuggets
Growl is actually one of those earlier songs off of my first album that i rather enjoy. Every time i wanted the back up singer to giggle laugh i would just push her belly. Now that's an instrument. My favorite song though is thorn apple the baby fat.
It's well produced, has great chords and lyrics. What i call the hole in one.
Shit, I just gave a listen to thorn apple the baby fat. ace! ace! triple ace!
[In retrospect, the value of the Buddha's ministry is beyond the need for latent states, host-parasite relationships including disease mechanism.]

A personal favourite of mine, a poemranker must read for all.
