Five Towns on the B. & O. in
General
BY day
tireless smokestacks
hungry smoky shanties hanging to the slopes
crooning: We get by, thats
all.
By night
all lit up
fire-gold bars, fire-gold flues
and the shanties shaking in clumsy shadows
almost the hills shaking
all crooning: By God, were going to find out or know why.
