SONNET: DELAWARE TRUST ©2004 D. Lewandowski Guerra
The Old Timer in 1933 Strolled, composing Market Street from his head, In '86: Yellow-buttoned shoes tread On a route long shaped in his memory. At 10th an uprooted cemetery Raised stones once more in this man's town. The red Brick village that was Wilmington. Block shed Delaware Trust; he, a soliloquy: Chester A. Arthur's full burn-sided stare Tracked me to 4th where a drove of cattle Stalled. Eyeing a factory for the bee hive Up 6th at Shipley, I deemed it rare To improve on nature. Then trolley's rattle Jarred him to breathing. He was yet alive.
