There is a place where the sidewalk ends
And before the street begins,
And there the grass grows soft and white,
And there the sun burns crimson bright,
And there the moon-bird rests from his flight
To cool in the peppermint wind.
Let us leave this place where the smoke blows black
And the dark street winds and bends.
Past the pits where the asphalt flowers grow
We shall walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And watch where the chalk-white arrows go
To the place where the sidewalk ends.
Yes we’ll walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And we’ll go where the chalk-white arrows go,
For the children, they mark, and the children, they know
The place where the sidewalk ends.
by Shel Silverstein
The steel mill sky is alive.
The fire breaks white and zigzag
shot on a gun-metal gloaming.
Man is a long time coming.
Man will yet win.
Brother may yet line up with brother:
This old anvil laughs at many broken hammers.
There are men who can’t be bought.
The fireborn are at home in fire.
The stars make no noise,
You can’t hinder the wind from blowing.
Time is a great teacher.
Who can live without hope?
In the darkness with a great bundle of grief
the people march.
In the night, and overhead a shovel of stars for keeps, the people
march:
“Where to? what next?”

It took him a long time to get a baseball in that series of sportsballs, but he finally managed it toward the end. His next project should be an unassisted triple play.

That’s the first thing I’ve ever seen thats more convoluted and inefficient than the Federal Budgeting process

I especially liked the rake. But I’m not sure why.
But it doesn’t have any looting, or burning, or one guy down on the ground while a dozen joggers put the boot in. It’s whimsical and inspiring. Thank you, Gerard.
I agree! HH, that’s just what I was about to comment too. I laughed at the rake part, not sure why.
