complete strangers...the conversation kind

complete strangers
speak with him on a regular
basis making them strangers
no longer not quite friends
not enough time for all
the strangers he will admit
welcomes the “hey how are ya?”
and he has a few of his own
one particular strange
no sits across the room
in a booth all alone
he’s at the table in the corner
coffee pen and smoke
stares over the diet cokes
and two occupied tables
first conversation welcomes
and then it becomes two
then too much everyone
in the room one conversation
from corner to corner
nothing wrong with this
we are all in need of a little
human contact—the conversation kind…
