10,770. CLEMENT MARY

CLEMENT MARY
Some kind of saint with an arrow
and a bow, crossed with the stars
in a circular row. Never spoke a
day in her life  - the story goes.
Patron-saint now of the retarded
or the lost or the shrunken or of
midgets. It's hard to say still because
all those words have changed since
the year 800. Nothing has much 
meaning here. Like Saint Digitus.
Who would ever have known he'd
become the patron saint of thumbs
and texting in the year 2008?
