NICHE

We walk around the room 

till we find a place of rest - 

our niche - but not for the 

rest of the evening - but for now - 

like life …. Sometimes here. 

Sometimes there. Sometimes 

anywhere. We have drink in hand - 

and hors d’oeuvres in the other …. 

our ears open for possible words …. 

connections - conversations. 

Phew …. All alone …. I really don’t 

know anyone in this room.  We’re okay 

for a while - for the time being. Then …. 

we have to move towards the tables. 

There’s more …. There’s always more.

Different people …. Different takes ….

We look at our watch. Next niche….
