SFC, the poem is really about me and reflects the loneliness and confusion that I sometimes feel. It's a feeling of disconnectedness, that there's something missing, that I've not found my "true purpose" in life (if there's such a thing). At these moments, I seek the solace of crowds (malls, theaters)...I mingle, yet still I'm apart; I am surrounded, yet alone.

It brought back some very powerful memories for me, and actually would fit rather well with some of my poems, but I'm not sure that Pixies' forums are the best place to delve into my whole history of social phobia and panic attacks, yada yada yada... Still, I'd love to know what the background to that particular piece was!
