an older black man
totally gray
wearing sunglasses
talks about dinosaurs,
and BBC.
how BBC is the only network
keeping the integrity
of computer technology

why do i care?
why should i give a shit?

but i do.
he's lonely.

i feel it.
see it.

i've drifted, but he's still talking about them.
the argentinasaurus in comparison to the brontosaurus
and other diphlapods,
made them look like children's toys.
and they only discovered it a year ago.
i nod and smile.

it's all he needs.
