Slow Boris - Spaceships

When the spaceships come
I hope that they find me,
I hope they don’t mind me.
And the chance of talk is thin,
Charade my way gesturing.
I hope they too have limbs.
But If they are gaseous orbs
Or fish like beings
I’ll treat them with respect 
All the same.

I’ll try hard to explain
What it’s like to be human,
Fleshed and blood and brain.
I’ll try hard to explain
When the spaceships come.

When the spaceships come
I hope that they find me
I hope they don’t mind me.
I hope my thoughts are heard 
And mostly understood
On morals, love, and all things good.
And when the time does come
For my friends to fly
They’ll leave in peace 
And I’ll know why
Trump and the like got beamed away
To some distant fiery colony.
