At a Sensible Distance

At A Sensible Distance




Abundance lies in the richest wine.
The poor labor a sensible distance from this richest wine.

The poor labor in the Sierra Madre Room at a sensible distance.
The poor clean the mules for the rich at a sensible distance.

Abundance lies in the richest wine and the poor lie to abundance.
The condemned dress in ancient vests of polished rice.

The same for the rice as for the wine.
Wine is at the same sensible distance as the poor unless it is rich.

Labor is a medicine that the poor shall mix.
The poor dress at a sensible distance and are condemned to abundance.

The poor labor in the rich dirt with the poor mules.
The rich are at a sensible distance from the poor who labor in the rich dirt.

Abundance lies in the one sensible distance the rich cannot condemn.
The poor stroke the rich heads of the mules in the Sierra Madre Room.

The rich heads of the poor mules are at a sensible distance from the rich.
And at a sensible distance there is poor rice and poor wine and the poor.

The same for the rich as for the poor in their polished rice vests.
The poor mules move with courage among sensible men at a sensible distance.

Sensible men are condemned at a sensible distance.
The poor mules and the poor labor in the Sierra Madre Room at a sensible distance.
