             LONELINESS

 

 Loneliness, it hides in back seats
of buses – or in school yards when
someone makes fun of us for acne
or being fat.  It has friends – but
they are  not people but feelings –
feelings of jealousy – or dismissal –
or nobody is really listening to us.
Loneliness – the cure is eye and
ear contact with another – who is
on the same dark bus with us
as we travel through the night.
