The buildings are large,
Apparently meeting code inspection,
100 miles west
From where we sit in northern Indiana.
.
Here,
Drab greys
Inform the day
Amidst boarded-up,
Dusty buildings and
Stomping, armed madmen,
.
We acknowledge the giant city
Sitting Southwest of Lake Michigan,
We read restaurant menus,
We shower,
Get dressed,
Put on necklaces,
Cuss at vehicles and
Rant endlessly about dialysis,
.
Then
Encountering the
Sponsored message from the big city:
“Monday will be sunny with a high of 32.”
.
The day
Had a number, too,
But that doesn’t really matter.
