"We're all just circling the drain that spirals
Downwards--down, down, down, down
Into the void," he told her as he drove
Her home after their first
Date.
"How very insightful," she answered. She
Was an amputee, with
Only one arm and one leg.
"Yeah, it's all pretty much meaningless. Yep."
She stared at him for a
Moment as they sat there parked in front of
Her apartment late in
The night.
"Well, thank you for such a nice dinner and
The conversation's been
Scintillating, so thank you for that and
Have a nice evening," she
Said, as she grabbed a crutch with her hand and
Got out of his car quick.
"Wait," he called out to her as she got out.
"Can I see you again?"
But she did not seem to hear him as she
Hobbled to her front door.
She did not even look back at him as
She helped herself inside.
He never heard from her ever again.
