the anonymous writer

I'd like to be anonymous,
blend with the frayed fabric
of a plaid sunken couch -
so most can't see me

hold a journal, ragged
with overuse, piled with untethered thoughts
and a few drops of fresh coffee -

no one notices as I settle
into a worn wooden-armed sofa
in far the corner of an empty cafe
where only locals stop
locals and me

I am not a local
I have been driven here
by taxi
to travel invisibly through
this anonymous day

I will write
with no one watching
