The Movies  (1917) 
by Florence Kiper Frank
from The New Poetry: An anthology, 1917





The Movies[]


She knows a cheap release
  From worry and from pain —
The cowboys spur their horses
  Over the unending plain.
 
The tenement rooms are small;
  Their walls press on the brain.
Oh, the dip of the galloping horses
  On the limitless, wind-swept plain!
