There’s a UFO up there

To me it looked like a
big-ass Cadillac convertible
customized in Martian chrome
alien & illegal I suppose
like complicated recipes for day-old bread
needle haikus
a homemade neon telescope
an intergalactic helicopter distilled from the
bluish silver-green haze
tied with a pink ribbon

the sky sort of drifted away
while the coast road just got heavy

something to do with the
Jetsons-go-surfing architecture
& the time of day

plus the cosmic convergence of 10,000 seagulls
maybe two or three more than that
wheeling in a great feathered vortex

the ocean flat from here to Okinawa

every greenish silver-blue molecule
