alone on the last bus ride.

Staring at our phones.

together, but alone now.

Cry for all to see.

being alone, together,

in the same spaces.

I open my phone.

Sending vitriol alone.

Together with friends.

Alone in your Facebook feed.

Together, we live.

A clock on the wall,

keeps us in sync, together,

alone on Tik Tok.

Wishing I were alone but,

laughing together.

alone is together when,

"I'm getting dressed here!"

Embarrassing scene?

Leave together on that date.

The blind leave alone!
