Carl Sandburg - Halsted Street CarCarl Sandburg - Halsted Street Car
Work rating: Medium


.        Come you, cartoonists,          Hang on a strap with me here          At seven o`clock in the morning          On a Halsted street car.               Take your pencils               And draw these faces. Try with your pencils for these crooked faces, That pig-sticker in one corner—his mouth— That overall factory girl—her loose cheeks.               Find for your pencils               A way to mark your memory               Of tired empty faces.               After their night`s sleep,               In the moist dawn               And cool daybreak,               Faces               Tired of wishes,               Empty of dreams.
