Polly Goes By and a Mechanical World Picture
A jagged, poetic fragment mingles a girl named Polly with vivid industrial imagery. The piece contrasts a rosy banner and bright faces with a grinding scene where Asiatic workers operate a hand powered grinder on a narrow stall. The text notes the machine age’s advance and the workers’ struggle to adapt. The mood shifts between whimsy and labor tension as it hints at broader social changes.

An observer notes that jail confinement improves prisoners' appearance and demeanor, often leading to better jury impressions at trial. He cites Sanders the dog catcher, whose pale, refined look after eight months in jail contrasted with his former brutalized state, contributing to a lighter sentence.
