Little Green Men

Watch out!
Between the night and day, in the middle hour of none, if you are quick you can catch a glimpse...

SHHH, here they come, the little green men!
I peek over the window frame and such peculiar creatures do I see!

Neon green skin, rough to the touch, leathery skin and hands, with thick heavy feet that are removable!
One creature turns it’s geometric shaped head, with glassy eyes and pale skin… whew! did it see us?

You know, they peel off their green skin at night…
The many secret folds hiding the small treasures found when hunting.

Traveling in pairs, pecking the ground, pawing through grass and bush. They hunt large green bubbles ripe with miscellaneous excess, small scraps of petro and soft pulp (which seem to be it’s favorite).

Low gutteral grunts communicate with each other, sprinting about quickly, their time limited by the rising sun. Quickly they disappear around the corner headed toward their craft...

A spotless garbage truck.
Perhaps I will catch a glimpse of them again, next Wednesday.
