The person sitting next to you
Needs company
They know it
And yet….

Can you hear
Your own pulse
Ragged as it might be
Half-time maybe…

It all comes out
Sooner or later
It’s only so long…

Is it not true
That there is a conspiracy
Between human hearts
That are receptive…

I’ll stitch it all together,
Don’t you worry
Things will be alright
They already are…
