Brecht has a poem,
"The Moscow Workers Take Possession of the Great Metro..."
Here is an excerpt.
"...This wonder of construction was witnessing
What none of its predecessors in the cities of many centuries
Had witnessed: the builders in the role of proprietors.
Where would it ever have happened that the fruits of labour
Fell to those who had laboured? Where in all time
Were the people who had put up a building
Not always turned out of it?"
Alas, no more. And I am stuck back on the Chicago El, you want antiquated and slow.
