ISOLATED

I sit here watching

they come

and go

in groups and in pairs

occasionally they glance at me

but all i do is watch and watch

and watch again

what am wathing out for,

am not certain

am no longer even certain

that am seeing a thing

but all i do is watch

because that's what appears to them

i watch their folly

their silly stupid tempers

their conversations so light

yet presumably so deep

i watch and know their

thoughts and their little going to do's

i sit here on stage watching

they know am watching

and they think am seeing

may be they are right

but am not seeing what they want me to
