*****house

Sitting by myself but not alone
Like the grey and bearded man on his own
At least I'm writing, looking busy
He takes a sip of beer, then looks down
Couple of couples, I'm [soon/never] to be one
Past a month, of trying and not trying
Still, here I am alone
My handwriting barely eligible
An instant cypher from an overbearing waiter
And a sense of veterency
Writing in my notebook
