the game
i never played the game
the way the other kids played it
there were always so many of them
and only just the one of me
they knew how to laugh
and while they were getting along with one another,
i was busy doing things by myself
it’s that way still
the game hasn’t changed much
i still enjoy being by myself
and the others are laughing
and getting along with one another
there are so many of them
and just one of me
