Loneliness Troubles Them

It's funny that 

they have problem

eating and drinking alone

in a crowded restaurant.

---

The real problem 

with this funny people is

they're terribly afraid 

of being lonely.

Loneliness troubles them,

because, you know,

they're animals.

You know, the type of

animals that loves

to move in herds.

They couldn't stand being alone.

---

They wanted to belong.

And it makes sense 

for them to have some kind 

of sense of belonging.

Esprit de corps.

---

They're both funny and confused.
