Thems

downward...

falls the rain

the run off,

reaces down the hill

and those

who are on the slope

or at the bottom

receive more

than expected;

top-of-the-hill

stays dry

the bottom of it

flooded...

and,

we all knew this

would be the way

from the beginning;

thems that don't

have always bee

the way it is

while

thems that have

share very

little with thems

that don't.
