Making my own plans

Of course this would happen that I would find myself on my own 
the new arrival, the stranger
the others having formed their groups, made their plans
in spite of their insistence
shrill at times that everyone is so friendly
it is easy for them to say a welcoming word yet turn away 
the stranger can be invited by by someone else, they have their plans
their friends secure in their pockets
I am the invisible guest, so I 
find a tour guide on the street, unlock a bike
and just go, tears streaming from my eyes
I say they are from the wind
