I love it. It's bitter sweet and a little sad. I like the line: and, more importantly- You are not in Chicago. That line just kind of hit me for some reason. But as always I love your work. Keep writing and never stop.

Utterly rythmic and modern. I dare say i like it.

Yaaaay! You've posted poems! *does a little dance*

Anyhow...I loved this! It was excellent...how you set up all the description for that one line "you are not in Chicago". It's so sudden...sharp. I love it. Like Carl Sandburg and William Carlos Williams. Wonderful!
