In Seat 18

No one sees me
In seat 18
Between my backpack
And the window
No one sees me
In seat 18

Younger kids in front
Older kids in back
I sit in the middle
In an empty wasteland
No one sees me
In seat 18

Girls gossip
Boys joke around
I sit silent
Everyday
In seat 18
I am silent
No one sees me
In seat 18

We pass like a blur
I watch businessmen
Flock to the train
The bus outruns
Morning joggers
I see them all
They don’t see me
No one sees me
In seat 18
