needs must

Someone tells me what I need 
- but I don't even want! 
It seems we're at cross-purposes. 

I know. Let's each agree to hunt 
and peck and charge and quest 
our own.

That way, if I don't need something
that you need very much, there will
be all the more for you to seek!
Perchance to find and touch.

Have all your fill! 
Take all my share
of what you say 
I need, as well. 

Truth is, I wasn't going to 
anyway. For anything one
really needs, I think
we each can tell.

Your need is neither seed
nor feed to me, so
what the heck,
or hey, or 

hell.
