Drone Mothership
By Noel S. Williams
The drones came from a foreign mothership, said Congressman Jeff Van Drew,
I watched it all, never once did I look away
So calm as I heard the univeitable echoes of a radio, news on televisions, sirens calls
that I drowned out by the sight in front of all mankind
look up to the sky
not bird or a plane
just the big blue sky and its nearing night
some say the world is hidden without light
but, you see, not just the stars come out at night
Polaris...so very far awayI see your powerful glimmering greatness shining from the celestial sky.I long to reach and touch the spherical fire burning inside.

Zero Hour, 9AM.
The ground rushes away from us at untold speed!
Atop this giant rocket-propelled bullet we lift from the very sky itself!
First stage disengaged!
