Question 4
A Sunset of the
City
by Gwendolyn Brooks
Already I am no longer looked at with
lechery or love.
My daughters and sons have put me
away with marbles and dolls,
Are gone from the house.
My husband and lovers are pleasant or
somewhat polite
And night is night.
It is a real chill out,
The genuine thing.
I am not deceived, I do not think it is still
summer
Because sun stays and birds continue to
sing.
