Fantasy: Alien For Whom Life Is A Game Poem by Margaret Alice

Let me tell you about my colleague Hanlie
positive, hardworking, always
fun and full of ideas
and about June always conscientious
and very thorough
and my wonderful dad, always happy
always helpful, sharing
his last cent with the needy
let me tell you about New Agers
and Mystery Writers
because I love them and
their unconventional views -

But do not let me tell you about politicians
ministers or scientists - I cannot
be objective – revealing more about me
and my own negativity than anything about them
and do I dare tell you about myself?

A Nile Crocodile with black holes in the brain
on an eternal quest to find life’s final answers
governed by an Alien for whom life is a game…
