arrives through the nearest worm hole
and hovers
over the city
perhaps somewhere in India
and then
it disappears
only to reappear again
somewhere else
when news of the sighting breaks
the mayor and the local policeman
have seen it
and a man on a train
has taken a snap
- the quick photo
of the blurrimedage

Nope - didn't see it!!
ReplyDeleteSeriously though, enjoyed this and the shape.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of it toying with our love of sensationalism: "it disappears
ReplyDeleteonly to reappear again somewhere else

It's not so long since we were talking UFOs!
Saw a whopping meteor the other night - a cluster of shiny fragments that shot right across the sky from South to North before fizzling out. Possibly space debris?
Thanks Gordon, shape is important here!
ReplyDeleteDominic, I only saw 1 ufo. And that was years ago. Somebody explained that it wasn't actually a ufo but the effects of the cannabis smoke drifting over from a nearby hippie colony.
