"The First Night of Fall and Falling Rain." New York Times, November 6. 1962. (Taken from Selected Essays of Delmore Schwartz, edited by Donald A. Dike and David H. Zucker.)
Among the kingmakers and obiuaries,
this softer set of words
folded among the hurrying traffic
that doesn't stop for bums
or the cooing pigeons...
or its brief beauty is read at last
along the long ride home...
