A Ride to Nowhere

Come, she said
on a trip that will astound you,
I'll make it worth your while, she said
Why...
What need have I for a trip?
What need have I for something I do not need,
nor have I asked for?
Why? Why, not? She reiterated.
Life is like this,
Like what?
Surprising, surmising, fantastical and whimsical, she said
I no not what you speak, I said,
these things mean nothing to me.
My life is perfect, just as it is.
Ah, the life of the non believers, the rule followers, the dare I say it, sticklers...
a cackle loud and piercing,
Look here, I said, I have said, no thank you, I've been polite, what more do you want of me?
Time.
Tick tock,
time,
tomorrow, there will be no time,
What ever do you say? I don't understand your hog wash, babble, incoherent, nonsense...
Dear Sir,
I'm sorry,
Sorry?
I am, for you,
you'll never understand—
this I now see.
