The crowd

Somedays are unbearable

The loneliness becomes acute

And I look for a place somewhere

A park bench A window seat

Where I can sit and watch the world go by

People chasing people to offices

Dogs sleeping in the day

Trees standing in the gloom


And I would sit watching

Till the people come back out

Of offices like ants from a flooded burrow

And they chase each other back home

to the dining rooms and bed rooms and televisions

To the people in their lives

I am lonely sometimes but I know it
