Leave quietly and quickly after you finally arrive.


But not before answering our questions

And learning our language.

And be sure to stay for long enough.


Though once you’re here, do you really have to go? 

I barely got to know you; will you return?

All I know is that you’re taller than me in feet but shorter in words.

And I knew you’d come eventually whether I liked it or not, so how’s about a game of bridge? 


Nevermind. 

Just leave already. 

Your UFO is in my parking spot.

Change is scary. It comes fast and it's unwelcome. I don't like change; but sometimes, it's for the best, and I must accept that.
