Lostness

 
 
 
 

Flying over the New Mexico desert,
In a two person single engine prop plane.
Just me and Joel the pilot, who kept repeating the same
Sentence, "we need to, we need it."
I implored him, "We are low on fuel and must land."
"No," he snapped "we must find…she said we must."
"Please Joel," I begged, as I heard to engine begin to die.
He didn't answer, just kept circling about the desert,
Repeating the same nonsensical words while I kept
Pleading with him to land.
