Portrait Of Henry With Rod Serling

Henry said the magic word
surrounded by the usual
Tio Tacos,

Vendidos from the very start,
sell-outs to their own people.
They wanted us

to assimilate
which is not evil, of course,
but assimilate

at a lower level
not quite equal
to those at the top.

Like in that
Twilight Zone episode
where "to serve man"

meant that those aliens
were going
to eat you.
