What’s your hurry?
Where we’re going is not
So far from where we are.
Come sit with us for a while.
We mean you no harm.
Tell us of your plans,
The things you have to do.
What’s that you say?
You have a book to write
And immortality to claim?
A loved one is burning in a fire?
Your cat is crossing the line of no return?Did we ever tell you about the time
We drank lemonade with a stranger?
That’s it. Closer.
We’ll tell you the whole deal,
Give you the full scoop.September 2005
