La Biblioteca
di Monsieur Teste
what does it mean to believe oneself as attractive to an alien race?
a life defined by questions
was I abducted?
did I experience
that or just remember it?
never to be answering
stuttering one's way through the
unreliability
of
hypnosis
claim for us it is not the proof but the telling
spots on
film,
charred
grass,
pieces
of metal
all begin
to mean in new ways
as there
is the possibility that beings might have hired a PR firm which created
My
Favorite Martian, ALF, Star Trek, Star Wars, AlienNation, ET, and other
shows post the 1950s
all media
become evidence or proof
or part
of the conspiracy to expose beings
we will
become used to visiting beings, welcome them on the basis of this enter-
tainment exposure
so the boy
running off into the field, clouds rolling over head, is called
calling
out to us
so the call
to phone home
so the
force
so the
FBI is covering up
so the
aliens are the minority
entertainment
takes a larger purpose
one ominous
or liberating
the breadth
of the debate
as we rethink
our selves, the political enters
and the
issue twists to become about our ability to touch information
to make
our own decisions
which has
been required of us all along, we've just slacked off
letting
the advertisement speak a larger truth
letting
others do our thinking and condense it back to us as a series of dialectical
issues
our lives
were busy, we defend our laziness
filled
with the everyday, never out of the ordinary
so what
interests in this formula are the questions without answers
which lie
to believe
becomes
the question
is it the
liar or the truth-teller encountered at the crossroads, pointing the direction
the direction
amphibious
more than
identity our attraction is to puzzle
the lineage
of close encounters
anecdotal
data, exhaust residue, radiation levels five times the norm
