SCRANTON -- 1924 by NAOMI REYNOLDS

First Line: I THOUGHT
Last Line: "GOSH, ISN'T THIS THE DAMNEDEST HOLE!"
Subject(s): MINES AND MINERS;

I thought
There are too many beautiful things, --
Coalbreakers poking their way out of a pink fog,
Bridges swinging across a faintly flushed sky,
These obliterated for a moment by the confetti thrown at a wedding party;
But I was interrupted by the man across the aisle,
"Gosh, isn't this the damnedest hole!"
