there was this old man down on the street
his clothes were old
with very worn shoes on his feet
he was just sitting
silently
as if waiting for some
quiet wind of change
to take him back
from whence he came
so i asked him questions i thought fitting
we talked about the weather
and the latest of political endeavors
i inquired the size of his shoe
he said "about the same as you"
i walked a mile today
