So, if you've ever felt as if you've come to Earth from some other world in order to understand the human species, we have something in common.

All it took was some hotel action
That day there was much to be done
The day I didn't know of things to come
...
Like an alley
The street hides between
Trees of brown rattling leaves
In the daring depths of dark.
