“Your Dollar is your only Word, / The wrath of it your only fear. / You build it altars tall enough / To make you see, but your are blind; / You cannot leave it long enough / To look before you or behind.” LooksLongEnoughBehindsBlindDollarsTallWrathAltarsArlington Book:Selected poems Source: Selected poems
