[ WP ] Steve leads an ordinary life , with an office 9 to 5 job . Then on his drive to work one morning he spots a hitchhiker on the road . He stops .

It is n't so much as I picked her up; 
 She basically jumped in front of my truck 
 And then opened the door. 
 Fuck. 
 It was pretty shifty. 
 Forced entry in an F-150. 
 - 
 - 
 I asked her her name and what she 
 Wanted and needed in this world. 
 Her answers were monotone and 
 Strange to say the least. 
 But when we hit the highway 
 her talking increased. 
 - 
 - 
 She told me what she really desired 
 More than diamonds or money or babies 
 Was someone to love. 
 I though it cliche at first; 
 But with someone so shady it 
 Seemed to fit like a glove.

 - 
 Who could want a roving maniac 
 With dirt-encrusted fingernails and 
 Jeans ripped beyond recognition? 
 Who could need to be needed by 
 An eccentric person more animal 
 Than woman? 
 Sigh. 
 - 
 - 
 I could. 
 I do. 
 The more we drive the more I realise 
 She has n't told me where to go. 
 I look and I can see in her eyes 
 She knows I'm hooked. 
 - 
 - 
 We stop at a coffee shop and she 
 Runs to the restroom. 
 I wait and wait for her til I'm sore 
 But just like a siren with its song 
 I was someone, I was hooked 
 But not the fish she was searching for.
