Standing Still

A crowd gathers,

glance exchange stern

stand alone in the audience

turn around,

look to every side that might create

a personal stance.

A sea of movement

same thing every day,

different place,

time of night is of no consequence.

Moods, disposition,

a friendly,

a mover,

a paranoid sufferer wallows in the

what might have been

section of the plaza,

standing still

while the crowd gathers nearby,

never intercepting his need.
