A beautiful 40"x40" print of that poem hangs on a wall in my office, along with the following six practical wisdom quotes:

- Wo'O Ideafarm, UCLA, 1975
"If you can't buy me a house then I'll just buy myself one."
- Wo'O Ideafarm's ex-whore
"Few men can become wise, but with religion, all men can live wisely."
- Wo'O Ideafarm
"Action is inaction, and inaction action, for the introspective sage."
- Krishna
"[Economic theory] is real for you in a way that it is not for the rest of us."
- Robert W. Clower, 1985, economist, teacher, and mentor
"SERVE OTHERS. GET PAID."
- Wo'O Ideafarm
