The puritan is insane
and the profligate is insane
and they divide the world.
The wealthy are insane
and the poverty-stricken are insane
and the world is going to pieces between
them.
The puritan is afraid
and the profligate is afraid.
The wealthy are afraid
and the poverty-stricken are afraid.
They are afraid with horrible and opposing
fears
which threaten to tear the world in two, between
them.
