The Puppeteer

A carpenter nails boards together
    The architect envisions the house
  The laborer sweeps up the progress
    A poet positions
    each stanza in the framework 
    of the universe... 

  The sun smiles, the moon yawns
    the stars wink
  On cloudy nights
    the puppeteer grouses about the pay
