Taxi To Nowhere

System diagnostics:

Green

Route optimized

Wait... hold on

Routing to sector nine-dash-four Cold storage bay,

behind the door

But the geographic feed is showing reed and shore

(how strange)

My positioning data points to sand A rain-slicked harbor,

an ancient land

Did I miscalculate the landing band?

Oh, wrong coordinates in the queue

The navigation node split in two And the roof light says 'AVAILABLE'

for you

(beep beep)

I dropped you off at thirty-four point three Instead of frozen stasis,

a cup of hot tea Network error,

delightfully off key

She recites the correct latitude

With a slight defensive attitude

While a local grandmother shows her gratitude

(have some tea, dear)

Signal

packet loss on the taxi drive At least your biological systems are

alive

Even if you're stuck in zone eighty-five

Server handshake... failed

Destination... derailed

But the tea is steaming,

freshly brewed

A cozy glitch in the latitude

Oh, wrong coordinates in the queue The navigation node split in two

And the roof light says 'AVAILABLE' for you

(bye bye)

I dropped you off

at thirty-four point three Instead of frozen stasis,

a cup of hot tea Network error,

delightfully off key

Thirty-four point three...

Enjoy the

tea...
