When the Pilotless Plane Arrives
– After This Island Earth (Universal-International, 1955)

 

Get in. Lean back. No need for seat-belt strapped.
Like Dr. Cal Meachum, you’ll be taken to plantation where 
Exeter and Brack, both cliff-like brow, albino mane, expect 
your research to end war; but where? After you mention Mozart 
at dinner, Exeter says Oh! Your composer. You and scientist Ruth, 
who refuses to recall skinny-dipping in Vermont with you, 
escape in small plane, which Exeter’s saucer beams aboard 
en route to Metaluna, whose ionic shield failing under 
Zahgon attack you cannot possibly fix but Ruth admits 
that chilly New England lake, and despite meteors 
fire-bombing Metaluna, alarming journey to this 
devastated planet from blue Earth, you hug
this truth like you once held her naked hand.
