close encounters

by whitehorse

people dont get abducted by aliens
nearly as often as they used to

its seemed we have figured out the universe
as best as a god fearing nation could

we took one look at all the stars, planets, life
and shrugged our shoulders

theres a game on.

i dont learn math, i learn life lessons
but i suppose im not doing well

because i find it hard to live in my own past
let alone someone elses

so while my teacher tells us stories
about his glory days

im watching the sky, waiting for aliens.
