En route to Chicago



Our father would have us shivering on the lakefront
for a Christmas photo
underdressed as usual, those are my memories
of high rises and well dressed patrons strolling along
the lakefront when it's sunny and warm.
it's raining and cold right now and when I arrive
I will put on my raincoat and boots and go back
and when it is sunny tomorrow I will walk
amongst the well heeled without envy.
