Forever Farewell

   The lock of auburn hair flipping one way
      then another over his smooth forehead
   bearing the proud visage of youth undaunted
      by vistas only dimly perceived… 

   His portfolio cuts into his side at
      the sweet whistle of the train 
   a train that will take him away ~
      away from those sere plains o'er which
         cattle and slaughterers yet rumble

a bit of a metaphoric lamentation or the aftermath of a study of the Chicago stockyards.....
