Read a poem by another poet written
on the same day:

Some people are tops, some bottoms.  It's the way of nature.  Some people handle things with great calm/cool/smoothness of composure.  Some freak out at the smallest things.

Sam and Henry (we'll call them) fit this description.  Sam, Mark's older brother.  Henry, Gwen's best friend.  Sam, the recovering alcoholic and sex addict - the artist.  Henry, the bank manager - success came easy to him (everything did).  He always got what he wanted out of life whether he worked hard for it or not.

One worked with money everyday.  The other saw very little of it.

One created art, the other went to museums regularly - even bought a few pieces now and then at galleries.

There are always balances in life.
