Eating Alone
Eating alone puts me in
a self-conscious mood,
every bite I take every spill I make,
feeling hundreds of eyes staring
at my attempts to appear as if
my unaccompanied dining event
is a once-in-a-while circumstance,
reading the newspaper provides a
fortress for lonely feelings,
occasionally I peek from behind
the printed wall and watch other diners
who share intimate glances,
laughter and coupleness.
