Three square and a call,
Then where were you?
Lonesome and all;
All by alone, I mean all alone.
Cold window panes,
Aimed out the home.
Looking for you; lonesome alone.
Frozen and died.
Can't start itself;
The battery's fried.
The car left unplugged,
Away from the wall,
Away from the place...
Where the icicles fall.
Looking for you; lonesome and all.
Measure the distance,
From town unto town,
Country to sad country,
Smile down to frown.
The distance of the last,
Long made distance call.
Calling the cellphone,
That I called you on.
Spanning the distance; lonesome and gone.
Thoughts dead or dying,
Like a sad winter call.
Looking for you; lonesome and all.

Poetry: A lonely man
THE BALLAD OF THE OLD MAN
“Hey kids, get off my lawn.”
The little old man said
“Kids, they have no respect,
The lonely man
he sits and wonders
where all his friends went.
He sits at the table
ledger in hand
and sees all the money
Three square and a call,
Then where were you?
Lonesome and all;
All by alone, I mean all alone.
Cold window panes,
Aimed

"A Lonely Man"
All day long
He circles the parking lots
Picking up anything he can find
Anything sellable
His headphones
by J.B. Hickock
He felt the soft sunlight fall across his shoulders like a warm blanket,
He heard the tinkling of the brook like the laughter
