The best job I had was moving a stone	A
from one side of the road to the other	B
This required a permit which required	C
a bribe The bribe took all my salary	D
Yet because I hadn t finished the job	E
I had no salary and to pay the bribe	F
I took a job moving the stone	A
the other way Because the official	G
wanted his bribe he gave me a permit	H
for the second job When I pointed out	I
that the work would be best completed	J
if I did nothing he complimented	K
my brain and wrote a letter	B
to my employer suggesting promotion	L
on stationery bearing the wings	M
of a raptor spread in flight	N
over a mountain smaller than the bird	C
My boss fearing my intelligence	O
paid me to sleep on the sofa	P
and take lunch with the official	G
who required a bribe to keep anything	Q
from being done When I told my parents	R
they wrote my brother to come home	S
from university to be slapped	T
on the back of the head Dutifully	D
he arrived and bowed to receive	U
his instruction at which point	V
sense entered his body and he asked	W
what I could do by way of a job	E
I pointed out there were stones	X
everywhere trying not to move	Y
all it took was a little gumption	L
to be the man who didn t move them	Z
It was harder to explain the intricacies	A2
of not obtaining a permit to not	B2
do this Just yesterday he got up	C2
at dawn and shaved as if the lack	D2
of hair on his face has anything	Q
to do with the appearance of food	E2
on an empty table	G
