One minute it’s there and then it’s not
Took off so fast it only left a dot
Did you see it or am I just a crack pot
Don’t throw me away and leave me to rot.
Woke with a start and its really dark!
An owl sits on my bed as though in the park
It’s real bright outside…. a humming noise hark!
The dog in the yard is quiet, not one bark
Floating, up into the sky
Awake on a table no clothes on I am real shy
An ugly creature, shock and cold, I don’t want to die
I want to go home I wish I could fly
Awake with a start, it is morning!
An awful dream I’ll tell mom, she’s calling
Down to breakfast, though I feel unsteady as though falling
She gasps at my feet covered in mud, it’s appauling
I have no answers and she’s like a dog with a bone
I’m in real trouble grounded at home
Ranting in the distance telling her friend on the phone
Welcome to the twilight zone and the human genome
