Most of the stray shadows in this town --
Never claimed or lost or on the run from enemies --
Drift in time to the scrap yard where the disjoindered pieces
Of the Third Avenue El's shadow were hauled in 1956
Along with the bent and battered shadows of conductors,
Engineers, passengers, token sellers and pigeons.
When funds are available, everything
Will be soldered back together and the men and birds
Will board, no matter where it's going, the first train to rumble in.
