I think I was naive envisioning aliens
as somehow native to the aerial realm.
They are like us
probably belted to a crater
with its own share of showers and sorrows.
Aliens also must’ve done the aerodynamic calculations
necessary for metal to become airborne
flying machines produced by a foreign science.
Surely, they understand that asteroids blaze
at a certain rate, a fraction of one alien unit to another.
Otherwise, how could they enter our orbit?
