/// Déjà vu, this has happened before!
She will leave here, but not through the door.
If Samantha is right,
soon a bright beam of light
will compel her to float off the floor.
/// Though the ceiling is solid, she’ll rise
and pass through it into murky skies.
She’ll arrive in a place
with a strange dwarf-like race,
and Samantha will doubt her own eyes.
/// In vague memories creatures surround her,
What is now called “a Fourth Close Encounter.”
She’ll be gone for a while,
then returned with a smile.

/// All the Greys were quite gentle and sweet.
Most considerate lovers she’d meet.
It’s one in a million,
the father’s Reptilian.
You can tell by the baby’s webbed-feet.
