screw loose or not

everyone’s assembled
in different places now
the stage curtain is drawn
all of the actors have retired
the light are still dim
only the spoon reflects
what little light is left
he realizes he is alone in the theater
this coffee remains drinkable
not as refreshing as the first
five a.m. in the car breakfast
does anyone else think this much
if not what’s wrong with him
a fool to think anyone might find him here
away from all of them
last straw drawn
lines in wet cement
will be there forever
in his mind
screw loose or not. . .
