She Has No Thoughts
I have no thoughts she said
I laughed, thinking she was kidding.
I have not had a thought since 1978, she added.
This was curious and made her intriguing in a weird way.
I have never been this excited about her.
But now she had primed my interest pump.
I insisted on knowing more; she was suddenly somebody.
What do you mean? I asked her, expecting a fantastic story.
She tried to think but nothing came out.
I have no thoughts, she said.
Why did you throw out 1978? I asked.
I have no idea, she said. I have no idea and no thoughts.
I was irritated now.
She had gone from potentially glamorous and exciting
to just another person who did not know how to use their words.
Totally thoughtless
