So.... I'm in Chicago. Here's a Creeley poem, aptly named "Chicago":
Say that you're
lonely - and want
something to
place you -
going around groping
either by mind
or hand - but behind
the pun is a
door you keep open,
one way,
so they won't touch you
and still let you stay.
I can't see in
this place more
than the walls
and door -
a light flat
and air hot,
and drab, drab, drab
and locked.
Would dying be here?
Never go anywhere you
can't live.
Concrete blocks painted an "off white" yellow tone - institu-
tional - very noisy, senses of people next side of wall, etc.
Get used to shrinking space - They'll let you out when
there's reason.
