I find the poem To Brooklyn Bridge interesting because it changes from talking all about the city and about the lights in the city, and about subways and elevators to talking about caravans, Prophets and the prayer of Pariah. I wouldn't think about including those topics in the same poem. I really like this verse of the poem
"Then, with inviolate curve, forsake our eyes as apparitional as sails that cross some page of figures to be filed away --Till elevators drop us from our day...." I like that part because., of how he fits in internal rhymes and assonant's in and they don't seem forced at all. I like the poem because it all flows together really well.
Then, with inviolate curve, forsake our eyes
As apparitional as sails that cross
Some page of figures to be filed away;
