Suburban Sidewalk

An ancient hitching-post survives
Too strong and stable to tear down;
The horse-drawn cart no more arrives,
For Time has altered Man and town.

Living in Texas I see this in many small towns. The forgotten posts, the weathered missions, the broken down carts. This was an excellent dedication to the preservation of a time gone by in these fast changing times.
