On a train southbound along the great Hudson river from Montreal to NYC:

Great granite cliffs
along the west bank of the Hudson
on top of which perch mansions
affordable only by
the richest of the downriver baron's of finance and industry
and the now hidden
3 martini lunch
in company with
delicate and serene queens of poverty

Up river power plants
Big ships moored alongside
secret evening kayak crossings
Riverbirds
Really unconcerned.
