Territory Dispute

You would think we were beyond such.
We control only what we use and that
only until we are done with it.
Then it is back into the pool.

We leave what we use in as good or
better shape as when we started
with it, and since labor is our only
income, we only take what we can use.

This is our common sense, but still
someone needs to manage the pool.
This is where it begins. Managers
can become rulers right quick.

And there are other pools. There was
this nice pond we managed but hadn't
used for a while. It took a good part of
a week jawboning for us to hand it over.
