Day: August 1, 2021

A smile flashed as though regulation required, 
then vanished with interest lost or never sought.  
No truth, just gesture and 
rag-man could sink no lower, 
having been briefly lifted up, 
only to be dropped to 
the condition of being forgotten , 
even though he really had no claim. 
High tide sensitivity, low tide listlessness and 
pain reaching all points of receptors 
and levels of internal fluids.  
Moon rise is true, genuine and can be missed, 
but recalled and causes no damage to 
sensitive fools acting like beggars for 
just a touch of humanity.  
They may draw on this vision while 
they sit beleaguered as 
the last hope for today, 
really no hope at all, 
walks away, 
down the hall 
never to look back.
