Planet X

So here I am on Planet X,

yackin’ away at strangers

Costco:  Hello

Blank stare – nothin' there

except for me (talkin’ to my self)

Am I crazy or somethin’?

Am I in this world alone?

Honing in now on the shoe shelf – Nice pair a shoes

Again – nothin’

Okay, so everyone’s stressed,

out of touch

I get it

But I’m in the same bloody mess

and I understand. . .

So let’s band together, Fellow Costco Shoppers!

What else can ya do?

Let’s hear it for World Peace, Yeah!

We "are" in the same family (aren’t we?)

Communicate with me. . .

There she is – Mrs. Friendly (The Hot Caliente’ Lady)

Actually, I thought all those stainless steel boxes

with the nice people behind them

were serving up samples of Hot Caliente’ – really

Silly me

Hello, Sir How do you do?

Tight lipped, but he almost slipped

I thought I heard a grunt from Mr. Grump

No dice, Lady

Back to Hot Caliente’

Then the next. . .

and the next

Is Life really that complex,

or am I alone
on Planet X ?
