Civilization
the place drawn out of
a quiet heavy nothing
like a letter from me to myself
each thinking the other a fool
every city is all
the cities in the world
their neighbors in the country pay
in blood and little supper

Dust
Dust,
Through which
Proud blood
Once flowed.
Dust,
Where a civilization
Flourished.
Dust,
The Valley of the Nile,
Dust,
You proud ones, proud of the skill
With which you play this game--Civilization;
Do not forget that it is a very old game.
Men used to play it on the banks
Of the Tigris and the Euphrates
When the world was a wilderness.
