the alien me

radio beckons
her always. mind's eye, boxed sound.
it always tells stories.

goings on...ballet and
festivals and dancing and
meditation groups.

creating on the
stove and reading lemony
snicket -- also cool.

moon-watching and
flower-smelling and farmer's
markets--essential.

likes doing dishes.
needs water. lots of water.
and plants. digs on plants.

alien me is
here on the planet to see
what it can offer.

people are strange when
they are her. she laughs too loud.
she's too ironic.

she needs a mirror.
alien me needs to see
herself more clearly.
