Carl Sandburg - Neighbors
Work rating: Medium

On Forty-first Street 
near Eighth Avenue 
a frame house wobbles.

If houses went on crutches 
this house would be 
one of the cripples.

A sign on the house: 
Church of the Living God 
And Rescue Home for Orphan Children.

From a Greek coffee house 
Across the street 
A cabalistic jargon 
Jabbers back. 
And men at tables 
Spill Peloponnesian syllables 
And speak of shovels for street work. 
And the new embankments of the Erie Railroad 
At Painted Post, Horse`s Head, Salamanca.
