First Contact

FIRST CONTACT

To open ourselves to pleasure:
It's what the aliens want to teach us
For who would wish telepathic contact
     with a world of whiners?


Aliens call Earth
"Planet of the Hates"
We are so bitter, so backwards
so cruel and filled with pain.

All acts of love and pleasure
Are invitations to alien contact.
Are you ready to merge
     with the Neighboring Other?
Have you freed yourself from malice?
Have you made your mind
     a splendid pleasure dome?
Have you adorned yourself as bridegroom?
Have you adorned yourself as temple prostitute
offering your golden body 
to strangers from the stars?


Are you ready to merge
     with the Neighboring Other?
Have you made your mind a worthy playground
for beings with superior notions of play?
What substances have you ingested
to make your mind receptive
to unearthly forms of enjoyment?


Are you prepared to surrender your mind
to alien pleasure transmissions?
Are you prepared to surrender your body
to an otherworldly physics of orgasm?


All acts of love and pleasure
Are invitations to alien contact.
Are you ready to join the Galactic Club?
They are opening their warm arms
Their sticky tentacles
Their moist fur-lined cavities
To Earth's uniquely beautiful males and females.


They know what they want;
They made the first move
They have touched us gently so as not to frighten.
They are open and yearning for contact.
What then holds you back
from joining the Galactic Dance?
What then holds you back
from wholeheartedly embracing
      the beckoning Cosmos?
