Abducted by Reptilian Aliens

He said he’d
been abducted
by aliens
the reptilian kind
they examined
and probed him
he said he
got the works
but failed to
qualify what
the works meant
he did seem
different
maybe the works
meant an upgrade
of his brain
then he said
one day he’d
join the aliens
on some kind
of shangrala
distant planet
he died soon
after that
a week later
I saw him in
a dream playing
golf, his favorite
pastime, with two
reptilian aliens
in a surreal
and paradisiacal
planet on a
brilliant green
glowing golf
course
maybe it was
just a dream
maybe not.

Higher Self

As he keeps reading
the cosmic energy
keeps increasing
in his head
like a basketball of
subtle energy inside
and around it
like those pictures
of halos
in eastern orthodox
icons
but he is not holy
nor is he unholy
he just is
he just is subtle energy
his consciousness
confined temporarily
within a brain
ot neurons
and glial cells
within a flesh
and blood body
with circuits of
blood vessels
circulated
through it
he is patiently
awaiting the day
when the he that
is a small part
of higher Self
can be united
with Self again.

Starlets of the Past

he sees a movie with two beautiful starlets of the past
in it

one died in her forties of cancer

the other in her sixties of heart problems

he is sad their beauty and their lives didn’t last
except in their movies

at least they had that

he ponders how when he dies he won’t have
any remnants of his life on earth

he realizes as the years speed by
the tens
the hundreds
the thousands
and more

nobody will have any remnants of who they were
or what they did

it’s as if it’s all illusionary
or just a dream
this passing life
this ever ending
impermanence.

Bob Boyd
