William Carlos Williams

Classic Scene

A power-house
in the shape of
a red brick chair
90 feet high
 
on the seat of which
sit the figures
of two metal
stacks—aluminum—
 
commanding an area
of squalid shacks
side by side—
from one of which
 
buff smoke
streams while under
a grey sky
the other remains
 
passive today—
