DEPRESSION

Coming along as we did,
In the depression, we
Learned to fear
The dark sides
Of our economy.
We started to work
Early and have continued

To the present day.
I am approaching
My thirty-fourth year
In aerospace
Which is half way
Between Williams
Commitment and Pound's

Disdain of everything.
I have practised
Alchemy and tried year
After year to turn
The lead to gold, and now
That I am old shall soon
See whether I succeeded.
