Almost Blue in Chicago

Between Michigan and State,

she was caught without a coat

among wrought-iron intricacies



of histories.  Her sheer blouse

panicked in cold air.  She was

going somewhere.  Her schedule


showed a route of escape.  Not more

than a block from State

and Michigan, she again seized


a grip on fate, held on, got back

in the swing of the thing, yes,

back in the sway of her days.
