#######invisible Poem by Dee Wright

#######invisible

Rating: 5.0


On the crowded tube
she feels

she’s invisible

& all the people
disappear

leaving her
alone

in this hollow
emptiness

talking to her self
talking to her grief

even in this
crowded tube

people create
an empty circle

around her

as if her loneliness
could contaminate them.

D Wright, you are so right about the crowd, which is often disgusted at the loneliness and lonely people, as if the loneliness is a catching disease. This is just my interpretation. It could be wrong, of course. The poem is sad and thought provoking.
