54th Chorus

Communities of houses
Caparisoned by sunlight
On the last & fading hill
Of America a-rollin
     Rollin
To the Western Chill

And delicacies of statues
Hewn by working men
Neoned, tacked on,
Pressed against the sign
      Mincin
      Mincin
To sell the swellest coupon

Understand?

Light on the fronts
     of old buildings
Like in New York
In December dusks
When hats point to sea
