The City on the Hill
Joel E. Chace

The grass behind the trailer's so high
when Lester walks the dog
back to the pond
all I see's the tops
of stalks waving their way

...............

The Wise Ole Radical says
I'm an old
fart now
I just wanna be
one of you guys!

...............

The Ghost of Banquet
walks along the suburb's streets
whispers across the City's alley-puddles
