[tab15]—Jack Spicer[/tab15]
Little men from space
are the size we imagine them to be because
if they’re quite small
they’ll take up less space (in there,
perhaps going farther out there) thus saving
their alien bosses’ interplanetary gas money
& other essential expenses.
Quarters are undoubtedly cramped
& with all that gravity-free free floating there
there probably isn’t
much worthwhile fucking going on
especially since
after all they’re only little men
who can’t help missing their little women.
In fact by the time they get here
they feel like cats on long car trips—
angsty if not downright pissed-off & vengeful
more than ready to barf venomous
flaming non-biodegradable intergalactic effluents
on what’s left of the upholstery
& completely unimpressed by our symphonies.
