Loneliness


Loneliness
Laijon Liu 20181118

Loneliness
passes through the neon-light Time Square
Loneliness skims over the passenger faces
on the subway cars

the traffic lights above every street corner
signal red, green, yellow
people walk across the zebra lines
to attend their daily routine

rhythms of our heartbeat
drum through the stethoscopes
waves on the cardiac monitor screen
show a constant state

the keys on our keyboards
numbers, alphabets, symbols
compose infinite shape of squiggles
all that is a phrase we try not to say
