The Little Princess Laugh

It’s chuckling from a homeless person

that sounds too insightful,


like the inner joke is too clever


and has a whole education behind it.


Like in the Little Princess book 

when that child notices the tattered coat 

must once have been from a high quality life,


as if some people aren’t meant to be poor,


and some people are.


Let’s get serious, this is about predestination,


the remnant of pre fallen man


a conscience that surely must be the homing device 

no one suspected still had a signal.


The church, the damsel in distress,


saved for later


with a reminder to keep reading.
