passing stranger


by dog e relaford



life is cruel
but nobody cares
they are only concerned
with their own affairs

you see a stranger coming down the road
you think, he looks like a goof
but maybe his best friend ran off with his dog
or he was evicted from under his roof

the stranger passes you by
and you pass him by too
you look up at the sky
and it might be gray or blue

the stranger passes by
you think of him no more
maybe he was the one
who could have told you the score

maybe he was the one
who could have pointed you the way
maybe he was your long lost twin
and like you, had nothing to say
