| Alone |
| Perhaps alone is Sitting, eating, reading without company At CSU Chico Or is it when a strange guy Ambles past you, eating an ice cream cone Gives you a once over then twice again as he goes And you are frightened Because he's strange See the looks others give you "Looser," "how sad," "weirdo" And not entirely caring Knowing we are each sad In our own uniquely pathetic way The high school kids who enjoy only your age and freedom The boys in Star Wars T-shirts Who don't give a flying-flip Or is alone that there are others Other sitting, eating, reading In this very hallway Each at their own bench Is alone that we never join Or are we really secure enough To sit by ourselves Take the looks And try not to care |
