Foreign Terrestrials
We speak the same language
...But...
Interpret different nuances
And our expressions seem related
...Except...
They are foreign and divergent
The manner of our stride is similar
...However...
Our Body language lacks connection
And we laugh, and we hurt, and we cry
...Alas...
Adapted to alternative wavelengths
There is something that makes us human
Unfortunately
Nature constructed us to be Foreign Terrestrials
But that's o.k.
Because I have a dictionary
