*POSTCARD FROM MARS IS AN OCCASIONAL MEDITATION BY AN ALIEN ...
1
DON QUIXOTE EXISTED BEFORE DON QUIXOTE WAS BORN,BUT HE WAS IN A DEEP ANGUISH OF BEING NOTHING.HE FELL DOWN AND FELT GUILTY,AND STOOD UP AND ASKED ITS NAME.
ASKED WHOSE NAME?
IS HE FROM MARS OR WHAT?
THIS WAS THE EARTH WHO HUGGED HIM TIGHT TO MAKE SURE HE WON'T GO AWAY.BUT HE GOT AWAY TO THE GULF OF SURFACE AND SERENDIPITY.
GET IN THE VOID,DON Q!
GET IN THE VOID! SO DON QUIXOTE'S JOURNEY STARTED IN POINT BLANK AND IN BLANK PAGES.HE WENT OUT WITH ROCINANTE AND SANCHO PANZA.HE DECIDED ABOUT THEM .THEY DECIDED ABOUT HIM.THEY DISTANCED FROM HIM AND FROM EACH OTHERS.THE OTHERS TO OTHERS.A GIANT AWAY FROM GIANT.A GIANT LATER THAN PREVIOUS GIANT.
2
I SEE PEOPLE PROCEED AND PROCESSED IN PUBLIC PLACES,PARTICULARLY PARTICIPATING IN PLAYS.
SO THE WORLD TURNS IF SOMEONE COMES FROM MARS IS FREE TO CHOSE FREE,AS PEOPLE TO CHOSE.
I WAIT FOR RETURN POSTCARDS TO GET THE ANSWER.
IF THERE IS ANSWER FOR PEOPLE FROM MARS.
AN EXIT IS MISSING AND EXITING MAKES ANXIETY BY AN EXIT.
FROM MARS ,ALIEN CAME TO LOOK AROUND ,TO MAKE OTHERS EYES GROW,AND WHEN RETURNED HOME THEY ARE DENIED TO BE A MARTIAN.THEY ARE ALIEN WITHOUT ID.#
3
I AM GOING OUT FOR A WALK.PEOPLE WHO PASS SEEMS TO BE ALIEN.THEY DON'T IDENTIFY WITH ME.I DON'T IDENTIFY WITH THEM.I SUSPECT WE DON'T LIKE EACH OTHER.
WHAT IF WE START FIGHTING NON STOP.
WHAT IF WE ARE ESTRANGED.
WHAT IF WE ALIENATE.
I'M GOING TO WALK ALL BY MYSELF,NOT TO LOOK AT PASSER-BY' S EYES.
WHERE IS THE LOST LOVE?
DO I NEED TO WRITE A REQUIEM AGAIN? A REQUIEM FOR NATURE BITS AND PIECES OF BODY AND SOUL?
4
I KNOW THESE PEOPLE PASSING BY.EVERYDAY I WALK I GET OUT OF THE CAVE I LIVE.SOMETIMES I EVEN ASCEND THE WALL IN SEARCH OF SUN AND I PAINT MY SHADOW AND I WRITE MY VOICE TO IDENTIFY MYSELF.PEOPLE COMING TO SEE AND TO READ THESE WORKS,TO IDENTIFY THEMSELVES.THEN WE FLY IN DIGITAL SKY AND WE DON'T KNOW EACH OTHER.AND WE KNOW EACH OTHER.WE ARE ALL ALIEN.
WE ARE PURE ALIEN IN THE SEA OF NOTHINGNESS AND STILL IN SUPERFICIAL SERENDIPITY.
WITH A SUPERFICIAL SMILE.
WE SEE AND WE DON'TSEE.
WE SPEAK AND WE ARE SILENT
WE COMPETE WITHOUT CAUSE,AT HOME,IN STREET AND SUPERMARKETS,AT WORK AND ON THE ROAD.WE ARE FULLY LOADED AND STILL IN VOID.
LIFE IS ALIEN TOO.
5
IF MARTIANS ARE FREE,WHY THEY ARE CALLED ALIEN?;ARE WE THE ONES WHO ARE TRYING TO GIVE THEM OUR NAMES?;ARE WE ALL LOOKING AT THE MIRROR AND SEEING SIMILAR THINGS?IS THE WOELD COMPELLING US TO SEE THE SAME THING AND CALL IT THE SAME NAME?ARE THEY HERE TO HUMANIZE THE HUMAN BEINGS?
I SEE THESE GUYS ON MY DAILY WALK.THEY DON'T LIKE TO WEAR A RED PLANET MASK.THEY'RE KIND A PINKISH,LIKE THIS PINK ROSE PEEKING ON THE WALL,EVERY MORNING AND MAY BE WATCHING ALL THOSE RED EYES WITH THEIR RAGE.,UPON THE MOUNTAINS.BUT THESE GUYS HAVE PROTRUDED TEETH INSTEAD OF PROTRUDED EYES.THEY HAVE SMALL SUNKEN EYES,WITHOUT EYEBALLS,AND NO EYEBROWS NOR EYELASHES,WITH RATTLING SWORDS IN THEIR HANDS,
AND BLACKBERRY-TURNED -I PODS.
6
THEY ARE WIELDING RATTLING SWORDS OR MONEY.
WE ARE BLOWING OUR CAR HORNS.
THEY DISGUISE AS COYOTES,WHITE TAIL BUNNIES,SMALL SNAILS OR SNAKES.
O HOW SNEAKY! WE DISGUISE AS HUMANKINDS.
SHOW OFF!
SO THE WAR GOES ON.
WAR OF PLANETS.
STAR WAR.
AND EVERYBODY BLAMES EVERYBODY THAT THEY ARE ALIENS.
IT IS PHENOMENAL.ISN'T IT?!
AREN'T WE RUINING INSTEAD OF BUILDING?
ISN'T THIS LIVING IN NIGHMARES INSTEAD OF DREAMS?
A SHIFT IN GLOBAL LIFE THAT DON QUIXOTE AND SANCH PANZA AND ROCINANTE AND I AND THE OTHER ALIENS ARE LOOKING FOR?
A MAKESHIFT GLOBE?
WARM AND NICE?
I GET IT BACK TO YOU,WHENEVER I FIND OUT.OR I FEEL LIKE IT!

don q in deep thoughts with lots a q's and not a single answer.he must be a good philosopher.

DOES BEING ALIEN MATTER?

ARE THEY IMPORTANT?

WHEN WE COUNT, DON Q WAS NOT COUNTED AND NEITHER SANCHO P,WHO DID NOT WANT TO BE COUNTED AND WAS KIND A ILLEGAL ALIEN IN LA MANCHA AND AROUND.

8

With an inalienable right to be alien,Don Q went on the road with Sancho P and Rocinante.

he was looking for other aliens to complete his story.

THE DAY OF MY DEPARTURE ARRIVE,he said.

I SPOKE ONE NIGHT TO MY DEAR LUSCINDA,another alien,AND ALSO TO HER FATHER,AND BEGGED HIM TO WAIT A FEW DAYS AND NOT TO GIVE HER IN MARRIAGE TO ANYONE...

HE PROMISEED.

IT SOUNDED LIKE PEARLS WAS DROPPING DON Q'S LIPS ,AS HE WISHED.

AND THE PEARLS WERE ALIEN,OR FROM ALIEN'S LIPS.

9

SHE CAME FROM THE SEA AND SEEMS TO BE HUNGRY AND HOMELESS.I ASKED HER NAME .SHE SAID : DARIA.I ASKED HER WHERE SHE LIVED.SHE WALKED AWAY.BUT SHE CAME BACK WITH HER SHADOW AND SAID:

THIS IS IT!

I WONDER,WAS THE SHADOW,IT OR THE SEA?

I DON'T KNOW AND I'M NOT SURE IF SHE KNEW,AND MAY BE THAT'S WHY SHE WAS WANDERING AROUND.SOMETIMES ON EARTH AND SOMETIMES AT SEA.,AND ALWAYS AN ALIEN.

SHE WAS A MONUMENT IN SEARCH OF A MONUMENT.

I PASS THROUGH AIRPORTS
AND GO THROUGH GATES
TO GET HOME
ALIENS RUSHING IN AND OUT
IS THIS A PORT OF ENTRY
OR A POINT OF EXIT?
WHERE IS THEIR HOME?
WHERE IS MY HOME?
WHERE IS HOME?
I FIND A GOLD COIN
AND BUY NEWSPAPERS WITH IT
THERE ARE NO FAMILIAR NAMES
THERE ARE NO FAMILIAR FACES
THERE ARE NO NEW NEWS
I WATCH ALIENS WHO ARE IN RUSH
WATCHING ME IN RUSH
F.S.
