In a sense like he was


watching the submariners
silently in the airport lobby
seeing them together, separate,
within their own thoughts
not needing to have words spoken
not needing to speak

some highly social but
others in a sense like he was
comfortable separate
within his own thoughts
not need to have words spoken
not needing to speak
