18.00

I haven’t spoken to anyone today It’s 6pm I’m not lonely I have four walls and an overactive brain Everyone knows Everyone tiptoes  Everyone stretches their arms No touching No talking A nod Sometimes In the street I go outside once a day A park A supermarket A backroad  Somewhere quiet Somewhere small Somewhere lonely I keep it company It doesn’t ask me to So sometimes I feel bad For disturbing its peace Leaving footprints in its mud A breeze in its leaves For meeting a stranger’s eyes And leaving them wandering Wondering if the tears mean anything It’s been a harsh winter Must be that It has to be We don’t mean it when we say “alright?”, do we We don’t read  Only look Don't see Meet eyes Don’t greet Don’t ask if we’re ok We don’t ask ourselves either Fear the “no” that follows So we walk We pity We look We nod No talking No touching No feeling A cold shoulder is a shoulder all the same Three’s a crowd, they say There’s no space for loneliness, you, and I Someone has to go It’ll be you Always you Please take him with you Two is lonelier than one, I've heard It’s 6.09pm I haven’t spoken to anyone today
