Norma Basset Hall

Seeking from a new horizon

Our friendly neighborhood

Norma Bassett Hall again

Creates the tiny, pale clocktower

That pierces the blue sky and

The mountains behind it

Beneath it a furious

City-wide repetition of beige,

Sun-bleached houses that in their own way

Chases the same sky –

As they all tend to do

The city tends to her

From her vantage point

Fades into the green trees

And prairie that surrounds it or invades it.

Forever captured

In block colors and cartoon outline from our friendly

Neighborhood prairie printmaker.
