Is it strange
to arrange
an exchange
to derange
and gear-change
as we interchange
and estrange
to create change
in our range
of life's downrange
counterchange...?

An alien here?
Rather dear...
So, let me be clear:
We come with no fear
to be near
a visitor without peer,
introduced to our sphere,
and our austere
lives that adhere
to lies we revere.
Try the beer!
We're only mere
mortal steer
who live on a frontier
of an end that always lies near.

We'z Walking on a Path Ruled By Numbers
This road has felt endless, yet limited; every step tracked. Inching away along this path, I feel trapped. Confined. Left to this narrow passage that may one day amount to something greater. Time is not a concept. Only distance. From start to finish, I laugh and cry and attempt to convince myself that this is worth it. I cannot stray. I must keep going. Every step etched, is a step taken, is measured as more than before. I cannot even recall how I got here. Maybe I don’t even really exist. Just another tick marking off a perceived presence. Of what though? I am just another line drawn. Nothing more, nothing less.

This better place or I'm going to burn something to the ground 😂
Whoaaaa, you rhyme sooooo well! Awesome work!
I'm not sure which I enjoyed more, the poem or the picture that followed, lol.
Ha! This was fun
What if the aliens are our long-departed relatives?
Great work!
