Obscurity

“As a remedy to life in society I would suggest the big city. Nowadays, it is the only desert within our means.” ~ Albert Camus 

I feel

the pull 

of urban 

isolation:

anonymity 

in a crowded 

coffee shop, 

a table for one, 

by a window, 

watching 

as the world pushes by— 

A mirage, or

a desert within my means?
