Answers arrived without any questions
None were suitable with this Alien
As well as any forthright suggestions
Leaving me be with a mammalian
I inferred more or less from her blue breasts
Enveloped by yellow streaks underneath
Never mind her lovely eyes and the guests
Over and around her head like fine heath
No sci-fi book or movie prepared me
Entertainment was not meant to create
Another box of queries to foresee
Relevance when the math has to be straight
The Alien movies went overboard
Hath no fury like a director's sword

Athena I named her when she asked M
Not the same one as this Vocal poet
Aware of the potential apophthegm*
Last year was another year you know it
I fell in love with her when she opened
Every sentence with a smile and a kiss
Not at first since my mind was unopened
Only seeing the obvious in bliss
No unknown truth but wisdom in her words
Eclipsing most beliefs and some science
As I was not given memory's herds
Remembering speech has no reliance
Time will tell well enough if out of Earth
Humanity can play God giving birth
