For Manhasset
Ride the L.I.R.R.
     Home.

On this day,
     Some do not make it:
Rescuers
     The ruins comb

For riders lost
     And not returning
From their journey
     To the city.

The parking lot,
     In cars unclaimed,
Reveals its anguish,
     Wears its pity . . . "
     
from "73 Unclaimed Cars" (p.21)
