I sat at a small table on the narrow sidewalk and I was (not incorrect but all of the words could be replaced by <em>while</em>)  drinking a cup of coffee. There was a stream of people, which seemed to me, was like a big caterpillar to me. Loneliness among the people is not the worst thing. My cup had been was already empty, but I was in no hurry to leave.
