Southern Pacific – May 21

Southern Pacific
Huntington sleeps in a house six feet long
Huntington dreams of railroads he built and owned,
Huntington dreams of ten thousand men saying: Yes, sir.

Blithery sleeps in a house six feet long.
Blithery dreams of rails and ties he laid.
Blithery dreams of saying to Huntington: Yes, sir.

Huntington,
Blithery sleep in houses six feet long.
-Carl Sandburg
