He hides within his black polyster shirt and pants.
Alone he sits on the chair.
He finds security at the 90 degree connection of the rooms walls.
A solemn face showing no emotion
What drives his actions, his reason for being?
Does he know and keeps it a secret?
Connected to life with the sip of a dry martini or the taste of a
raspberry cream lattte.
The mystery of his exsistence lures his presence as he walks through the
hallway...Alone.

 

Among the crowded room I sit among artists, poets, musicians, dancers.
But who am I?
I dream of belonging but am I alone or am I scared?
A time for a change, a time for action.
Can I sit in the hallway?
