We’re Not Afraid
Can you believe it? I’m in Cairo, and I am in a funky mood today – I’d even say “groovy”. I have this beat in me, which accompanies me and reassures me. I’m not afraid of anything. I’m going to cross this cluttered boulevard, avoid the cars without even taking the designed pedestrian crossing.
I look up to try to perceive a little something, anything, beyond the surrounding dust. I see a big bowl standing there, a sphere at least a kilometer in diameter, emitting jerky vibrations. It’s a spaceship – just over the avenue – and no one seems to notice, although its white marble color blazes through the dry mist. Its mass is imposing, but it seems very light, like a gigantic Taj Mahal floating above the traffic.
The weather is devilishly hot, we are in the middle of July in these suburbs of Cairo. I think “Perhaps that’s a big alien bomb coming to explode near the pyramids.” Its round shape is as perfect and regular as Kephren’s triangles.
