The Way Cafegoers Are

Since I hadn't talked to anybody for quite some time
I had nothing against exchanging a few words
however briefly
with someone or other

I thought and thought about how it could be done
but the more I studied the faces around me the more difficult it appeared
with all those eyes that seemed not to see:
the world has certainly become depressing
