These beings, the way they look, act and move...
It's as though they are hard-shelled imitations of us.
Like dolls. So let us refer to them as such. Learning
our language and honing their own, reaching heights
that see over our homes. Mimicking our customs with
a strong feminine bent, they were like a funhouse
mirror reflecting our own vanity. As their own
shelters climbed higher to accommodate them, we
wondered if we'll even see the sun before long.
