Alien X-ing
Daniel Millard 1976 (Medford, OR)
About this poem
After a day at the clinic and hospital observing people I came home and wrote this poem. I felt as though I could see inside of the meat suits and what I witnessed was definitely Alien. Not of this world. We are the Aliens! Only ourselves to fear. Only ourselves to embrace.
