Fast

Matthew W. Schmeer

So I ask my friend
Bill who is driving
where do you
want to go
and he says

I don't know
where do you
want to go

and so I say
I don't know
why don't we
just drive
and see where
the road
wants us
to go

so Bill says
o.k. let's go
and he gets
on the highway
and we go

and halfway
to wherever
the road
is taking us
I have to pee

so we stop
on the roadside
and I piss
into a clutch
of black-eyed
susans sprouting
in the ditch

and Bill says
hey hurry up
and I tell him
I'm going
as fast as I can
as fast as I can.
