6:55 departure.


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.
