Loneliness Forever Banished

I might as well be from Mars.
I enter a restroom in Walmart.

"Restroom" --- strange designation
for a place to piss and defecate.

I note with interest, that the person in the stall adjacent
to the mirror where I refresh my face ---

with no apparent strain ---maintains a perfectly normal conversation
with an invisible acquaintance.

Who needs silence.
They have cell phones.
