Except... Poem by Eric Cockrell

Except...

Rating: 3.5


a hard ass old man,
bent over with time and work,
stopped to pet a stray cat.

without a word,
or a second thought,
just stopped for a moment.

no one knew him,
no one understood him,
what he'd done or been through...

except, maybe, the cat!
stray cats, in a world
gone hard and cold!

Like it, a great poem. No one ever knows what's behind the eyes of the man.
