Alien Visitors

Rusted automobile
Takes me to my destination
The tires squeal
Taking corners at speed
Straining dusty
Corners of coordination
For now I must ease
My savage need.

Shirts and ties
Clinging to the ceiling
Above the pipes
Chiming out their greetings
In earthen tones
We are hustled to our seating
All alone
But for a new beginning

The visitors
With smiles so clean
Welcome us
To our uncertain home
A hint of the familiar
Inside the new

Sunlight prismed
Through slanted glasswork
We are illumined
In shards of rainbow colour
Somehow different
How can we be certain?
But for the unbent
Joy of the visitor

The visitors
With smiles so clean
Entertain us
With their musical laughter
Another familiar
Inside the new
