"I sit amongst others.
Voices swarm over me like flies in hot weather.
Babble and Hubbub, on and on.
I nod,
Like someone agreeing to pay taxes
But I know that they're only saying what they'd like to hear said to them.
And this one person,
this one wonder,
Just looks up and smiles and holding my hand,
Tells me all I ever need know."
