Fit In

The Alien Life, one panel Comic. Two aliens are standing on a beach with a human between them. There is a giant planet in the background. The caption reads: "No, you guys would not 'fit right in'."

Is trying to fit in necessarily a reduction of self?

We are hardwired to be
agreeable, survival
of the collective
demands this of us

On a raft at sea, floating,
and also tossed about,
the continuation, or not,
of an assortment of lives
depends on wit and fortune

In this place of peril,
the distance between
what you think you are
and what you truly are
will be revealed to all.
Agreeable, or not.
