At 5:00 a.m., under the red line platform in Ambler Heights,you can’t see the river, sunrise breaking across the water, sunshinewarming the sandstone of the Hope Memorial Bridge.Unseen from here are itsArt Deco guardians of promise, progress, and industry.There is a man on the street who looksas if his will has been ransomed.A deposed king in demolition boots,his coat resembling a mastodon hide.Ice age, king dethroned, yet another mammalon the verge of extinction.
