the UFO

perhaps from Andromeda


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

  2. I like the idea of it toying with our love of sensationalism: "it disappears
    only to reappear again somewhere else
    when news of the sighting breaks"

    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?

  3. Thanks Gordon, shape is important here!

    Dominic, 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.
