(slippered) opportunities I weep;
Three score and four years
replete with mailer daemons,
hence mindset adrip

wielded upon figurative head of wimpy blip;
decades elapsed at...

Once "City of Big Shoulders,"
 Stockyards and industrial concerns:
  A man's self-worth measured
   By muscle and energy burned.

Today the stockyards are shuttered,
 The Face of Livelihoods changed;

who try to break the bind
Verbal popping every moving target

On the streets clinging to cars,
Those smiling faces, sulky little palms.
Skeletal structures and lifeless gestures,

Gliding up slowly with a lofty mast.

Facing strong winds my ship starts from the...

To this grassy knoll where their story ends.
