1.
Alone. I can smell
everyone and their food. This
is no way to live.
2.
There is an old man
across from me, paying bills.
Happy? Or drowning?
3.
Lonely girl with your
book: what do you read and will
you read it to me?
4.
Four chairs, an empty
table. They circle with their
trays. And stop. They dive.
5.
She draws with pencils.
I wonder if she sketches
me, while I write her.
