Two Old Men In Cowboy Hats | Poem

 
 
 

TWO OLD MEN IN COWBOY HATS
 

sit on a wall in the unexpected

February sun.  Their hats

nod as they talk.  Their boots

scuff dirt.
 
 

"Bill, you ever figure

you'd live this long?"
 
 

"Nope.  You?"

A raven calls,

nest building

in the unexpected afternoon.
