we're not alone
there are aliens
with moon bases and ancient pyramids
in a vacuum
because that's what the universe
is
no chance and no wind.
but you saw Old Glory
waving
as
Neil danced
his small steps for man
while
the women never got mentioned
again.
there's a chance they're lying
to us
but I wonder what
comes on channel 5
tonight?
