What do you think of the following?

all i want is the shitty coffee and the standing up. i moved here in august and i have talked to exactly four people outside of work. the barista at the place on my corner knows i take oat milk. that's the closest thing i have to a friend right now. i keep thinking i should just go home but home is a place where nobody's waiting either, so.

Now: I'm the diner-diner. And I hate that word, but I need it, because the alternative is 'person who eats alone,' and that's the thing I'm trying not to be.
