par Carl SandburgCross the hands over the breast here--so.
Straighten the legs a little more--so.
And call for the wagon to come and take her home.
Her mother will cry some and so will her sisters and
brothers.
But all of the others got down and they are safe and
this is the only one of the factory girls who
wasn't lucky in making the jump when the fire broke.
It is the hand of God and the lack of fire escapes.

Paula is digging and shaping the loam of a salvia,
Scarlet Chinese talker of summer.

Women of night life amid the lights
Where the line of your full, round throats
Matches in gleam the glint of your eyes

Your western heads here cast on money,
You are the two that fade away together,
Partners in the mist.

Come you, cartoonists,
Hang on a strap with me here
At seven o?clock in the morning
On a Halsted street car.
Take your pencils
