in the ruins you've left behind...

Innumerable the people who have died or fled
Since these streets were laid, with opulence and hope:
Fedora hats, steam rising from manholes
Teletype, secretaries, switchboards -- all
Grown dusty, sitting day after day silent
Behind boarded-up doorways...
These buildings, empty for twenty years,
Will be demolished, for a casino
Or its parking lot. A mute jury of infamy,
A point in time, a gravitational field...
I salute you, captains of industry
In the ruins you’ve left behind...
