It was pointed out to me not long ago that the star nearest our own is
Alpha Centauri. And an spacecraft, travelling from that vicinity to earth at the likely speed of, say, one million miles per hour would need about three milennia to meet its destination. Well, my dears, this leaves us (those of us with the education necessary to tackle the problem) with two distinct possibilities. 1. The aliens who mingle with us are quite aged. At first, this possibility seems quite good and logical. Inevitable even. But those of us fortunate enough to be experiencers know that the aliens do not look at all aged. Much like our own beloved Yoko, they seem almost unnaturally youthful! And when they have their way with us, it is, make no mistake, with what can only be described as with the vigor of youth! So this is not after all an option. 2. The aliens have found the means to exist outside of time. This, upon careful evaluation, is the only real possility. It makes perfect sense and is all-explaining. It is also quite inspiring! Why just this afternoon it inspired me to pen one of my famous poems! Here you are, my dears. And, yes, musicians among us: You are quite welcome to set these words to music, though I remind you once again, I want the music to be Lennonish. Alright, I won't keep you waiting any longer! Here's the poem! "Timelessness" By RAG Seely Our lights can penetrate the mist And in the darkness shine We have found how to exist Beyond the realm of time Beam aboard our glowing ship We head for warmer climes We have found how to exist Outside the grasp of time Lonely souls we shall enlist And make them feel sublime We have found how to exist Beyond the clutch of time Enter a place of timelessness Eternal in our prime We have found how to exist Beyond the realm of time Lookingglass...
