The L Trains - Cityscape

Stormy, husky, brawling, city of big shoulders, city in a garden... Carl Sandburg

Remembering Chicago as a young man

In the summer we met in the park and played...
without an organization.
We knew the rules...
we went to Cub games if we were lucky.
The park and harbor at Diversey were home in these years.
All sports were spontaneous events...
we had each other and no deadlines.

Skyscrapers Stand Proud

The Skyscrapers stand proud.

     They seem to say they have
     sought the absolute
     and made it their own.

Yet they are blameless,
     innocent as dumb steel and the dumber
     concrete of their bastions.

“Man made us,” they murmur. “We are
     proud only as a man is proud and we
     have no more found the absolute
     than has man.”
