LONELINESS

 

I’m telling a joke,

someone walks in and my audience

walks away – looks  away. They

start talking with the others – not me. So

I’m dropped. It’s seems to be  happening

more and more lately. Feeling: I guess

I’ve become rather boring.

Two people are whispering – hands

covering their mouth. I feel I don’t count.

Do I?  Aging seems to be a death sentence

and I am not ready for that right now.

I feel like I’ve become a me to me situation –

a me to me – me plus me situation. I feel sorry –

sorry for being me right now.
