On the way to work this morning
I was abducted by aliens.
It's not the first time.
They took me to Starbucks
and forced me to order them
mocha lattes.
Well, forced is a little strong,
but it sounds good.
They uncertainly sipped
at the foamy concoctions
and told me about their lives
back home -
how most of their people
never ventured out
past their everyday existence -
as if exploring other planets
and other civilizations
wasn't actually a choice.
Everything is a choice,
insisted the tall one with two heads.
His other head agreed.
We shook hands,
all three of theirs and both of mine,
and then they beamed me back
into my car and my life.
