I am alone
on this blue vinyl seat
in the center
of this murmuring flock.
I am shouting
against my closed lips while
I look them in the eyes
and count.
a running child with ketchup
on his three year old face
a silent man with low eyes and
twitching mustache
a screaming diamond on the
finger of the woman in red pants
they are all leaving here
while I sit on cold vinyl
and am left uncounted
because I am alone.
