i saw an old forgotten man on an old forgotten road that walks a straight line along the crooked world. looking for his life misplaced in a shallow muddy long ago.

staggering and numb under the glare of the sun his eyes so dull and grey which slide left to right, right to left seeking a hiding place. then he pulls out forgotten dignity from under his coat and a transient spark lights his face and in my honor i am found.
