The Futurists

Their youth and strength guide them
with thundering voices
toward speed and technology
and rigid, razor rails of industrialization.
All hail the city!
Let us applaud the automobile!
Glory be to the airplane!
They long for our flag to wave high
above the sooty stacks
lest it stay bright
but black and heavy
forevermore.
