The man in the corner
Is drinking his coffee
He looks in my direction
But sees right through me
He’s getting nervous now
There are so many people here
He thinks he can’t do it
The girl behind the counter
The woman tending to her baby
This crowd of people
Never noticed him leave for the bathroom
We never knew how long he was gone
Before the man in the corner
Became the man in the body bag
He got what he wanted
Everyone noticed him
No one will ever forget
The man in the corner
