lonely


while for you
alone
i wait, O Lord, in
the neighbor who says hello
(no matter that i ignore him),
the kids who share
the lunch table at school
(even when i talk about
them behind their backs),
the boss who mentors me
(despite my knowing more
about everything than she),
remind me i do not have to be
lonely
