Working Girls Analysis

The working girls in the morning are going to work--long lines of them afoot amid the downtown storesand factories, thousands with little brick-shapedlunches wrapped in newspapers under their arms.

Each morning as I move through this river of young-woman life I feel a wonder about where it is allgoing, so many with a peach bloom of young yearson them and laughter of red lips and memories intheir eyes of dances the night before and plays andwalks.

Green and gray streams run side by side in a river andso here are always the others, those who have beenover the way, the women who know each one theend of life's gamble for her, the meaning and theclew, the how and the why of the dances and thearms that passed around their waists and the fingersthat played in their hair.

Faces go by written over: "I know it all, I know where

the bloom and the laughter go and I have memories,"and the feet of these move slower and theyhave wisdom where the others have beauty.

So the green and the gray move in the early morningon the downtown streets.
