alignment (n).

e9376f08afa53342e4b56432ef2c74baIt was in the angle of your knees that I first noticed it, and as I studied it became clear: your far off gaze, your fingers drumming to a beat different than the song playing overhead, your chest facing a quarter-turn away from me, your thoughts making it difficult for you to participate in conversation, your right hand busy with the handle of your coffee mug instead of inter-lacing with mine: your direction is projected elsewhere, your coordinates are pointing away, far from this table, this city, this place here with me.
