Two tiny dots on a vast landscape wandering aimlessly Ginger and John Man and his cat a long time together on buses and freight trains hither and yon Jobs here and there a few extra dollars some milk and a hamburger then down the road Under the stars sleeping in green fields the kitty exploring his grassy abode Then came the day John called for Ginger but his little companion never returned The world cares not for a lonely man's heartaches what befell Ginger John never learned Mourning his friend John wept so bitterly searching once more before he'd depart One tiny dot on a vast landscape wandering aimlessly broken in heart © Mike Wise 4/20/18
