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.
