Raised by Aliens
By Amanda Firefox


I step into my shoes
The way Ripley steps into a powerloader
I tap my business cards
The way Burke taps his contact cards
I get my social skills
From an android - - Bishop
Every woman I’ve ever loved
Is as bad ass as Vasquez
“Look into my eye”
That’s the Apone in me
And my smile - -
Just look at Hicks.

And I always go back
For the trapped, helpless ones in the end
Against impossible odds.
