00400	Modern folk with programmed eyes:
00500	     Do you see what I see
00600	     (my progeny and mad dogs)
00700	     beyond the vacant lot,
00800	     beneath the tire tread?
00900	
01000	Ancient Cities call, with your dry dusts,
01100	     and your cool suns.
01200	     Your ghosts of tongues.
01300	     (Where are you stationed 
01400	     mathematically?)
01500	
01600	When ledgers shall have been balanced
01700	     and martinis all consumed,
01800	     exquisite sunsets over skyscrapers shall steal,   
01900	     the last metal-busting car wreck
02000	     gloamed away.
02100	
02200	Then will dinghies draw softly over water;
02300	     Will ancient princesses on deck parade;
02400	     Will muffled paws pad,
02500	     extinct birds assemble;
02600	     on the Other shore.
02700	
02800	As Modern Cities jive, with their callous blasts,
02900	     and their acrid smells,
03000	     their jangling wires:
03100	     Are they, too, ghost to some 
03200	     millenium?
