Early this Sunday morning
I am sixteen years old
I’m putting on a
blue blazer gold buttons 
heliotrope shirt 
grey pants 
red and yellow tie 
polished dark brown weejuns 
topped with a belted burberry trenchcoat

for a short walk 
up an easy street
with all of the family

to 

something 
called 
church
where an organist
plays loudly and thunderously 
people sing badly

and there is a threat of snow

I think I’ve been 
abducted by 
aliens
