one of my first memories
involves alien encounter
there was an attraction at disney world called alien encounter

i sat on a droplet of water in a dark room
with my dad and other people
before us was an alien encased in a glass tube
the alien smashed the glass and i started crying and screaming
my dad picked me up
and we exited into warm sunlight

one of my last memories
involves human encounter
i was on a bus with five to eight humans around me

i sat on a plastic seat reading a story from my phone
with the author and other people
my head rested against the greasy glass of the bus window
my eyes became watery near the end of the story
i hit my head on the glass, looked up and around
the author and i exited onto cool cement
