The Destination
John Hayes
The plains indians capture me,
they will punish me by beating.
I tell my chinese girl friend
this may kill me.
She negotiates, then tells me
they will only flog me twenty times
this can not kill me.
She will report them
to the Better Business Bureau
if they exceed the limit.
Reassured, I begin
my crawl to the post.
I am weary,
my goal obscure.
