The Loner(1)

at dawn a man rises from his small apartment gazing out a window full of sunlight he slips on his trench coat and walks briskly out the door and onto the streets for he has nowhere to nor anywhere he wants to be he's just there to there and while he's there he watch the world go by while he does odd jobs waiting for his due that never comes.

after a few days the loner as he is now known as simply gives up on humanity like a bird in a cage knowing all too well there is no getting out of it all pity that's how he wanted or at least that's what we were told and humanity moves on forgetting the loner while he drowns in a sea of his own discontent.

he asks not for money nor handouts but he does like every other human ask for some last vestige of what once was but no longer is.
