All The Lonely People

All The Lonely People All the lonely people are everywhere and they are boys, girls, men, women, young, middle-aged, old, rich, not-so-rich, poor, smart, not so smart, educated, uneducated, happy, sad, single, not single, pious, impious, into sports, not into sports, cultured, not cultured, a parent, not a parent, law-abiding, not law-abiding, cares for others, does not care for others could care less and cherish stillness. There is a lonely, large island, and the not lonely folks want the lonely people to get the hell out of their way and vamoose to the lonely, large island where they can be lonely together. The not-lonely folks can then go about their merry way with enthusiasm and camaraderie and not have to fret over an accidental encounter with a lonely person, sitting alone and still, on a bus, train, or plane. The not-lonely folks will feel it only right they can party all night and out of sight of all the lonely people. The not-lonely folks live in fear of becoming one of the lonely people and when their time of loneliness comes and you know it will the flights are always ready to take them to that large, lonely island and they must remember to be still. *
