Diary of an Extraterrestrial (Free verse) by lastobelus
I'm here on Earth today--
walking in the sun,
done up like a man
in cotton and leather
and a hat.
The bright leaves
idle in the air
and my feet feel warm
in their little cocoons.
I'm in a town called Obvious
by the people who live there--
they built it themselves,
in glass and concrete. All day
I looked at coloured things
their dead men made,
in a large and quiet place.
It's in a time called spring,
when things go warm...
They brush against me in the crowds--
men and women,
and my skin feels strange.
The sun will go
around behind soon,
and their air feels cool.
There's a van Gogh in the sky,
electric waves in my odd heart,
and I won't be home tonight.
