Marley's ghost revisited

The capitol building on State Street in Albany, NY, provides some ominous and curious faces to take a look into the coming season: how do we glimpse into a man's soul? Is it with a checkbook or a palette? More curious questions and thoughtful images and words, at blog.amynelsonhahn.info

How did you manage
to get yourself cast
for the everlasting age --
miracles of fate overshadow,
poor ponderances of lives,
so unlike yours --
but the creases and the valleys speak:
he was a man worth something!
how odd was that now, in parody,
your visage vaunts
according to the thoughts
someone or other once had held.
Quixotic, strange --
you'll never know how
two hundred winters tales
have held their changes
on your once illustrious shape.
