All of a sudden I realized I was alone
and I felt it too
but it wasn’t bad
it was calming
just me and no one else
while I was entering results into tables
music into my left ear
the window slightly cracked
the world outside my mind
completely quiet
and uninhabited
I realize what I am doing
I hear the music
passing from headphone to ear
some artist’s talent
traveling from computer to speaker
and here I am
typing, alone
wide awake
