Leeway To An Alternative Universe Poem by Julia Luber

Excuse me, I didn't see the sign that I was entering an alternative universe:
funny thing-was it just me being negligent;
or was the absence of clear indication heaven sent?
Tricking me into going on my way. Not alerting that
perhaps I should consider to stay, where I'm at-secluded and fat.

But the Alternative Universe has opened its doors. And somehow I find myself within
its strange confines. Mocking my fear, ringing its chimes. Being so near, even when
I turn aside. I've tried to avoid it, back out. It follows me wherever I go with predatory
confidence and insensitive lack of doubt.

Let's explain this Alternative Universe; it is not merely a Film Set.
Let's explain this Alternative Universe: no time really to worry or fret.
Rule number one is to always stay in motion. And if it's not with your body corporeal,
your mind's thinking is such potion- to consistently stay in a state of fluctuation.
Change, Rule of Alternative Universe one-constant alteration.

Can you feel safe in this niche like territory? Mimicking your bric a brad mind-
with trees all twisted and gory.
Or do you want to stay home, for the red, white, and blue
stars, striped and glory.
But the Alternative Universe is calling on you. Its sounds, its sights,
its saviours, and salvations are so authentic and true.

Come closer, feel how the whole thing started.
A gun shot in the night and the killer claims it only farted.
To its narcissistic delight, its laughter chuckled and its nature parted-
from this world and into another: she chose the killer, not the lover.

Make sure she doesn't invade The Alternative Universe, and contaminate,
ruin, poison, and destroy that one too.
