4 times I've been asked if I want a table
 2
8 times I've been offered a seat
 3
13, a drink and company
 4
but I only want to watch
 5
sitting in a swanky chinese bistro
 6
in sweats and sneakers
 7
tossing back sake bombs
 8
and watching, only watching,
 9
watching people
 10
watching the people who wonder about their futures
 11
about their pasts
 12
but the most interesting
 13
are the ones who work here
 14
giving away the unspoken judgement
 15
they so love to pass
 16
and they dont think I know
 17
but thats just why i watch
 18
why I want to sit here and watch
 19
because when they think no one knows
 20
we see what they hate becoming
 21
