    Scrufty Old Man

    There's a scrufty old man
        sitting on a loveless city street
    I watch him from my parked car
       the heater blowing at my feet
    He seems to find some comfort some
      where in his broken mind
    As he stroks his proud old dog
        who sits upright at his side
    The flakes are falling faster
     the city people pass him by
    Hey he's just a dirty street bum
     there are shelters in this town
    And what about that old dog
    they out to put it down
    And whys he got to sit there
      and make our mind feel 
       less then sound
    There is'nt time for stopping 
      wet snow is mounting at our feet
    There's a cold and homeless
       old man sitting on the
        loveless city street

    Very Visual writing. I like that. A beautiful flow of words . Well written.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
