in philadelphia there were two women alone in two tables for two facing the window and reading in between chews. i also had been alone earlier and the punk kids in the corner were laughing together. they were talking about sex and i was just happy to be eating. i don't think i'm ever going to be alone here again and i never really minded it as long as i wasn't hearing laughter. it takes too much effort to spend time with some people; i've discovered some people who are easy to be around because it's no different for me from being alone.
