putting words to paper
taking words into the mouth
spitting them out
trying to collect them back
from the surface of the theatre of dreams
as it seems
        it didn’t work —

the words transformed
the letters separated
they were gifted a life
but wanted creating their own
eventual did what usually happens to aliens
to the core
        they are misinterpreted —

and so the language forms
creating out of itself
birthing words and even new letters
the strangest sounds Earth will ever hear
there is a single tear
of happiness
        and of fear —

the new life form might
turn their sight
to somewhere else
where it’s welcomed and hugged sometimes
where the strangest things will happen
and every being is unique
        keep that streak —

transform yourself
keep being fresh and kind
take the aliens under your wings
pull the strings from the backyard
make the mighty sight the fighty
make them blow
        themselves up —

one day you will
look into the darkest sea
you might fight the image
but your opened mouth
has it hard answering your brain
it won’t ever rain again
        but that’s not the worst part here.
