Book Excerpt for the Day

Forgive us if we work so hard

And the muscles bunch clumsy on us

And we never know why we work so hard -

If the big houses with little families

And the little houses with big families

Sneer at each other’s bars of misunderstanding.

 (pg. 11, from “The Windy City”)

    (from Slabs of the Sunburnt West  by Carl Sandburg)
