Activity: The fragments below constitute a poem, but they are disordered. Rewrite it, noting the order in which they must occur to form a cohesive and coherent text.
This sugar came from the grocery store on the corner and neither did Oliveira, the grocer. This sugar came from a sugar mill in Pernambuco or in the State of Rio, and neither did the mill owner.
This sugar was cane and came from extensive cane fields that do not grow by chance in the valley's lap.
The white sugar that will sweeten my coffee this morning in Ipanema was not produced by me, nor did it appear inside the sugar bowl by a miracle.
In dark mills, men of bitter and hard life produced this pure white sugar with which I sweeten my coffee this morning in Ipanema.
In distant places, where there is no hospital or school, men who cannot read and die of hunger at the age of 27 planted and harvested sugarcane that would turn into sugar.
I see it pure and affable to the palate as a girl's kiss, water on the skin, a flower that dissolves in the mouth. But this sugar was not made by me.
