is it because they prefer their own company to that of others?
or that others do not provide the company they seek?
or that the company they seek is not forthcoming so they would rather not seek?
or that they just need a break
from the press of humanity
the drudge of communicating
the slurge of recognizing
the absolute boredom of small talk
filling dead air with deader sounds of well meaning nonsense
all the while wishing to be somewhere else
pretending not to see when u glance an acquantaince
only to have them come at you from the back
and being forced to lie why you are alone
when in reality who the fuck are they to question
why u alone are alone in amongst the press of pple mindlessly coupled, grouped
like so many herds of brainless swine
smelling up each others' arses, talking, laughing
giving u cold stares of superiority when u walk alone, sit alone, read alone, eat alone.
so be, let them it.
they do not know the meaning of solitude.
they do not think, therefore they do not feel.
they are useless.
they are prey.
for as nature coursed it to be
the only creatures who live a lone, single star-hard existence
are the hunters.
hunters hunt the hunted who stay hunted to be hunt by hunters
...
i am a haunted hunter.
