Interaction

I didn’t realise how lonely I was

until surrounded by strangers and friends

rendered incapable of connecting to

anything

Of course, three drinks down, I fall into

the part

acting up // performing // master of the

art of      “social interaction”

the networking queen

but the taste in my mouth is sterile
