Alien Life Form

 


The damp spot on the table is left from a wet sponge having just wiped off the top.

The tiny orange dot is a creature.

It has vision, legs and although unknown to me,

a purpose. 

It has discovered this moisture and stopped to have a drink.

If I had a good macro lens on my camera 

you'd be able to see it has a face, maybe eyebrows and is currently smiling.  You know,
because it was thirsty, and no longer is.

I do not know if it is from some distant planet, or

Boise.

I have no idea if it will jump from this puddle

like a Mullet, or simply swim over to the edge

and continue on its journey.

It is altogether possible that I am the first

to discover this species. Maybe I'll get my name in some

scientific journal, or on the cover of LIFE magazine.

Maybe not.  I think that LIFE has become extinct.

I agree - it hasn't moved and it's little orange light is fading.
