13,643. DESTITUTE

DESTITUTE 
That which breaks down usually
goes away : waterwash the waterfall
that douses down the meadows all.
The horses hear things that cows
never notice. (Or so it seems).
-
In the gleaming night the waterboy
too comes home. Aquarius, or the 
archer, or some Ursa Major lookalike
at least  -  those cretins watching the
sky will know. Wandering. Eye. 
-
A bootblack can tie the laces of 
a golden shoe, while that temple 
priest of highest renown would 
never know what to do.
