and it was an alien from Alpha Centauri or some place around there. It offered me pop-rocks that sparkled and fizzed like a star going nova or someone ringin' me 'round Saturn a couple of times. There was a knock at the door and it was another alien. This one was looking for the other one. It asked if I had any more pop-rocks and offered me some asteroidal chew that

altered the magnetic poles and ping-ponged through my gastro-intestinal track like a starslip going thoughtspeed. There was a knock on the window

and it wasn't another alien. It was my neighbors telling me to shut up.
