My Pet Planet

In the darkness where no one can see I press my one good eye to the view finder and search out my favorite planet. It is not Aatucagg I seek. That planet depresses me. No, I look for another planet. A planet that fills my heart with joy. I have recieved their signals broadcast into space. Everyone has. Most dismiss them as insignificant, but I see something in them that speaks to me in a way nothing else has. I hide my feelings. I would be ridiculed by all others if they were to find out, but there is something special about them that sets them apart. They are primitive, that is for sure, but they have a thirst for knowledge that those on my planet have quenched millenniums ago. I can see that they are like me. Thet are alone in this universe. We know of them but we igore them because their future is limited. They are mentally challenged through no fault of their own. I feel a oneness with them. I am physically challenged through no fault of my own. My people expect perfection. I have no future here. It is painful to be ignored. Eyes that prefer to connect with perfect emptiness rather than imperfect expression. I am injury needing restoration. I am a project that requires preparation. They can not handle me. They must first break me down and compartmentalize me. I am an insect that must be disected and studied before they can look me in my disfigured face. But, in the darkness, looking through my scope all of that goes away. Deeply I have no one. Deeply I need no one. "I don't care", is a misnomer. Everyone cares, even I care. But, I do not care about the here and now. I do care about the there and then. Your planet, your Earth, is what I care about. You Earthlings are an entire civilization of who I am. Tonight I will take the family space ship and change my miserable life forever.
