Poem: The Window Washers

November 21, 2016October 16, 2014 by Jerry Schwartz

Window Washers

In Pixels of Young Mueller, Klaus Mueller scribbles a small poem in his journal. The words pay tribute to the men who dangle from Chicago’s skyscrapers in an effort to rid the city of dirty windows:

Like spiders the window washers
rappel themselves
toward the taxi sea
