pick a partner
or work alone
it's meant to be a choice
a simple, harmless, everyday
choice, but i'm scared
i'm too scared to get out
of my seat and approach
one of the only two people
in this stuffy, crowded room
i'd really like to talk to
and get to know

in this short, insignificant
existencethey are also
working alone
we are the only
three people in
this room who
haven't moved an inch
who haven't picked a partnerwas it a simple
choice for them?
or are they scared
of me as well?
