for the beggar
that hath seen no
light
Takes what she pleases
and finds delight
Hath not the beggar seen
her fatal flaw?
The beggar is but a beggar and
not pleased at all.
For if the beggar were to see
that her situation is but irony,
She then doth partake in sentiment
whose cracked joke is eminent.
Never fear for the dear beggar
is near and does not realize her folly
She trips and skins her broken knees
yet does not board the trolley.
For the trolley will take her away to see
What she has so fatally lacked
the experience she needs to grow
and grow a bone in her back.
