Sitting Here

Sitting here.
Looking at them.
Hundreds of people under one roof.
So many nationalities.
So many cultures.
Sitting here.
Wondering.
What is he thinking?
What is she thinking?
What are they doing?
And what am I doing.
Sitting here.
Looking.
At her, sleeping.
At him, talking.
At her, reading.
At him, writing.
At them, discussing.
Sitting here.
Thinking.
Where am I?
What am I doing here?
Why am I here?
Just sitting here.

I LOVE it! You will not belive how much I admire the simplicty of this piece. It's a 'I'm just here don't overthink it' work and it is simply masterful.

I could actually imagine the speaker just "sitting here"...

I like the pattern of "her" and "him" and the repition of "just sitting here".

I miss your random shots...

p.s. I apologize for not giving you a long winded analysis this time; I am so tired today!
