Butler Pennsylvania 8


McKean Street Dream


In gentle sleep the downward sweep
of tree-lined McKean Street
tilts centerward and glides
then rises gently
up to where the great gray ship
the church lies anchored
with surging mast
that touches our skymost bounds,
while behind the portly maples
across from it
the yellow brick school house
that used to be
still stands defiant, earth-bound
behind blunt Ionic columns.
