Where the Lonely People Go

The lonely people are home tonight.
Something easy on the stove,
Arranging letters maybe,
That a nameless person sent.

The lonely people are in the bar,
At that stool where they always sit,
Quite as the T.V. picks out letters,
For a game show,
A beer whose sides are wet,
Goes with a tired hand to lips that hardly open.

The lonely people are looking out a window,
On the storied floor of a brick building,
A leafless branch blows back and forth,
Like an arm of a broken clock.
They are reminded, for no reason, of Havana,
And for a moment a foot is almost tapping.

The lonely people are working in a Gas Station,
On a night when on one is driving,
At the end of a dark highway,
After they inventoried the snacks,
They find a magazine,
And carefully crease the binding back.

But four years ago they were smiling,
With hands pressed sometimes together,
Complaining about a pop song,
The radio kept playing,
And looking nervously,
At each others naked bodies.
