i can't seem to get over the fact that the Pittsburgh of my youth is gone forever. the snippet of poetry on the page is from the poem "Refusing Heaven" by Jack Gilbert, about the 'Burgh.

He will not abandon his life.
Not his childhood,
not the ninety-two bridges
across the two rivers of his youth.
Nor the mills
along the banks where he became a young man
as he worked.
The mills are eaten away,
and eaten
again by the sun and its rusting.
He needs them
even though they are gone,
to measure against.
