i try to fit in with warm hellos
superficial smiles and nods of acquiescence
checking if i can make myself useful
comfortable in the support role
back in the dark behind the scenes
in a sea of strangers with names i won't remember
a semblance of a dance
parading fleeting faces
avalanche of entanglements
and sequence of collisions
may as well be gilded gargoyles
doing the backstroke in the River Nile
while me, i'm driftwood on the beach of life
