Alone at a Movie
by Ronald A PavellasThere is an ineffable sadness
In standing in line
Sitting in the theater
Alone.
How can I enjoy a good show
Without her sitting next to me?
Little nods of her head
Touches of her hand on mine
My hand on her arm
My glancing at her rapt eyes
Her tear-stained cheeks
Our hands will sometimes clasp
Sigh!
So, I sit alone
As the nice old theater
Plays good jazz
The lights full on
Before the showing
My writing pad and pen
Are my allies, my friends
My companions
As I wait for the movie to start
Alone
