Nineveh

Sometimes, I feel like I’m supposed to go to Nineveh
but when I get to the ticket office
all they have
are trips to Tarshish.
I stand
confused
in the lonely ticket office
and look at the posters
of exotic destinations.
I don’t want to be thrown overboard
by frightened fishermen
and Nineveh is too far to walk
alone.
I don’t think I even know the way.
So I wait,
looking around for a friendly face
that might help me find my way
or even walk a little while
with me.
