My father served in Vietnam
Came home a different man, they said
Clear nights he’d sit out on the roof
As a young girl, to me he seemed
To overflow with emptiness, a point of no return
All he wanted was to see with his own eyes
Clear nights he’d sit out on the roof, staring at the sky
The scriptures he would quote, a wheel within a wheel
Have they born witness
To our hapless trudge from swamp to Walmart
Clear nights he’d sit out on the roof, staring at the sky
Hoping to see for himself what he believed to be true
That we are not alone
He would have loved that story in the New York Times
The office at the Pentagon, the pilots who saw the alien spacecraft
Sensible men, not prone to delusion
Clear nights he’d sit out on the roof, staring at the sky
Waiting to see for himself what countless others had seenthat we are not alone
