        are in the blue file cabinet
        in a folder marked "to do #7"

       < first contact >
    
    the alien ship looked 
    exactly like a head
    
    there were two ports that glowed 
    where the eyes should be
    and an entry-way 
    like a small mouth 
    that even talked and told me 
    to hide the knife and the hacksaw
