Five Towns On The B. & O. Poem by Carl Sandburg

Five Towns On The B. & O.

Rating: 3.0


BY day ... tireless smokestacks ... hungry smoky shanties hanging to the slopes ... crooning: We get by, that's 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, we're going to find out or know why.

The poem makes you wonder what the five towns are. Not bad.
