If I Do Not Show Up

does not matter who I meet
or how many there congregating
I am always the first to arrive
which is why I like to drive myself

I do not like being late
or on time
it does not delight me

if I do not show up without a call or a text
aliens have taken me to Venus
i have been kidnapped by monsters
and they smashed my phone into bits
or I am dead
