These cafeterias have an emptiness
that can never cease
This can of iced tea would be better
were it a glass of wine
or a can of beer
It puts me in a desolate position
of loneliness
I’m glad the room is largely empty
as it eases some of the pain
I guess I’ll be glad when I finally get
out of this place
No chitter chatter to resound like
a lonely bum
I suppose that acts upon my soul
and leaves me alone
I wonder and I cry but for now
I’ll just roll along
This can of iced tea eases down
and I have
nothing left to say
