Halliburton foiled

Sync'ojos,
clawless,
unclueless,
colossus
triplodigitus
readies,
pentawatches
with all five eyes.
She knows
the mountains
are safe
from any
advance.
A hypnotic
aviclops
guards
the alien moon.
Her power
unspoken.
Magnetic fields
so strong
allow a smiling,
wise vermiculum
to float over
effortlessly,
flexing his polarity.
Terrestrial
dolphin thinks,
nothing more.
Thick static
atmosphere
unseen
excludes robots,
weapons,
any machine.

No mining here today.
Let's move on.
