Then it's perfect! (what about "Stealth-Bombed Swisscapade" as a title?) :D I typically leave things untitled for a long time, then struggle to find a title only under the pressure of it going into print somewhere. I can understand the inclination to leave'm "untitled" but the editorial standard of using the first line in such cases motivates me to retain more control than that. “Stealthy and cheesy”???

Can't recall what color the smoke was, but Wilco and other Tweedy endeavors were on heavy rotation then (and always, it seems). Cerebella, I think you just gave it a better title... "Old Movie Static" :) The alien & special agent interpretations are uniquely American.

Cerebella, I think you just gave it a better title… “Old Movie Static” :)

He is still barely alive but his body is smoldering from the alien's heat ray. He is on his last breath. The alien approaches. He is many headed, like a hydra from an ancient myth that the author has read about, but, of course, never actually seen in person until now.

Sometimes you just never know what's what, and you just have to go with gut & instinct. It was earlier rejected, for whatever reasons, by Beloit Poetry Journal, Kenyon Review, Lilliput Review, Valparaiso Poetry Review, and Hayden's Ferry Review. I'm glad it found an audience here. I'm also grateful to hear the various interpretations, some of which I'd naturally never considered (I can't decide which I like best, LOL). The moment that spawned it was an illusion of sorts, a flashbackesque revelation of the many moods/masks/etc. that the subject wore regularly. That said, it's also a mirror in the same regard.
