Traveling in silence
cautionary looks
warn of discomfort
Going out of my
way, on my own
hoping to see
a friendly face
Akward smiles
sidelong glances
people afraid of
letting their guard down
Stare longer than
warranted and a smile
turns into a frown
Rocked side to side
hiding behind sunglasses
it is nighttime
Blocking out the world
with headphones
at least , till the batteries die
Then, you will be forced
to respond
if a question is directed
at you.
