Twenty Five Minutes Poem by Kewayne Wadley

'It's not exactly rocket science, ' said the man
She laughed 'It's still not the easiest of things, '
'Either you do or you don't.'
The woman looked out the window, enjoying the nature
of the ride.
The radio took the place of her words.
The car continued to pull as he set the cruise control
The engine revving a bit louder maintaining speed.
They sat in silence.
'Well! ? '
'Well, what! ? ' replied the woman.
'Are you hungry? '
'No, not really.'
'What does that mean? ' 'Either yes or no would justify the question.'
'I answered the question.' Now beginning to grin.
'Have I complicated your life that much these last 25 minutes? '
'Look! anyone else would have been dropped you on the side of the road by now! '
'Just pull the car over! '
'Seriously? '
'I mean have literally passed every food place at least twice and you still can't make up your mind.'
'Just pull the car over! '
'If I pull over, I'm not coming back.'
'I don't care! '
'Alright. As you wish.' The car begins to slow down. Coming to a complete stop.
'Here we are, the intersection of a long ass walk and on the way to my stomach being full.'
'No! I changed my mind.'
'I figured you'd change your mind! '
'No, you figured I'd get out so you could call that other number that keeps calling.'
'Wait, where did that come from! ?
'I know what I want to eat now.' Beginning to smile again.
'No, no no. Where did that come from? '
