Jury Duty

A room full of strangers,
not knowing one person.
A room full of strangers,
spending each day together.
A room full of strangers,
eyes look around, but no
one speaks.
A room full of strangers,
becoming comfortable with
the next.
A room full of strangers,
a glance turns to hello.
A room full of strangers,
begin to talk.
A room full of strangers,
no more.
A room full of strangers,
now a room of friends.
