Ace Shaw

I never saw any difference
Between playing cards for money
And selling real estate,
Practicing law, banking, or anything else.
For everything is chance.
Nevertheless
Seest thou a man diligent in business?
He shall stand before Kings!

    this brief poem packs a wallop, probably from the spoon river anthology, displaying Masters' talents in portraying a sliace of life. the closing lines would make even the best writer envious.
