You are poor and silly

In life there is too much richness
beautiful houses, first class and sober
beautiful things, snob art, from gold to copper
and you are there:
nowhere.

In life there is too much beauty
many beautiful women, flowers
too much food, taste, from love to sore
and you are so:
you ignore

In life there is too much abundance
too many buildings going on
revolved soil, temple, palace, fortress
and you are this:
apart from

In life there is too much intelligence
too many authors from Homer to Dante
and from Dante onwards, visionaire or arrogant
and you are there:
ignorant
