THE TRUTH IS STILL OUT THERE       (hour 3 poem)

The truth is still out there’: internet shrugs at Pentagon’s UFO findings.

– Gabrielle Canon, Guardian UK 6/25/21

 

The hummingbird feeder

hangs from an iron hook.

At a great distance

its spherical shape

seems to hover in space,

awaiting visitors – those

helicopters of the animal realm –

fierce hummingbird hummers.

 

Roswell, New Mexico, 1947:

supposed alien crash site,

deep-sixed by the CIA like dust

covers the Pecos Valley desert.

 

Are we alone in the universe?

The truth is still out there.

 

Carl Sagan added fuel to the fuel,

with his, Billions and billions

and tv shine personality –

a celebrity astrophysicist.

 

The X-Files fanned the flames

with its kickass agents, Mulder

and Scully – chasing UFO rumors

and trying to avoid alien abductions

over American screens everywhere.

 

Are barbarian aliens coming,

or friendly Close Encounters

of the Third Kind?

The hummingbirds dip their

needle-sharp beaks into

the feeder’s clear nectar.

the truth is still out there.
