Mired in black wooden box
unfitting shoes laces ….. unfastened and untangled
coloured, stationed, patience unhidden ……
black inhibited smile
sharp focus unaltered demeanor ……
with a shoe brush tucked in a corner.
Greasy little palmed fingers
blackish clothing dirty riddance …
borrowed smile with promising eyes ….
tool box and a multi errand
howling ears …… eviscerated bowl
three quarters a meal a penny can roll.
I see him running in your house
calling him names for delayed chores ….
his mother calls on the weekend
you listen on the other line … with some vengeance
he serves you day and night ….. faithful and diligence
and a prayer ….. thanking for food and pittance.
