UNIQUE
let’s broadcast our best
science fiction movies
out into deep space
none of ths ticky-
tacky stuff, I’m sure
great alien civilizations
have
got no time
for cliche
but it will put it out there
for them all to see
our traumas our fears our
nightmares our loves
our dreams the treasure-trove and
nest of vipers that
are our personal
and collective unconscious
out of which so much we see
as alien is projected outwards
onto every screen
and if the darkness still
terrifies after our search for
light across
that list of centuries
at least the monster
is our own
the face of terror
so much our own
the painful beautiful paradox of who we are
cannot
be unique
