He's sitting on the other side
There are more people at his table
Yet he's all alone
He appears to be small
Smaller than he used to be

His earphones are plugged in
He's focused
His eyes starring at the table
His face without any impression
He does not blink

He stays like this for quite some time
Then he turns his head away
Now looking at his leg bouncing up and down
He pulls his phone out
And puts it back in

"Sorry", he says as he stands up,
"I gotta have a smoke"
