daylight deepeningOctoberoutside the sprawling thick city clouds wrinkle from exhaustion in the sky Chicago's weekend traffic is somehow light & lisa spends her afternoon in sweats she's got the steamy rice cooker going sprawled in the living room in the winter light thinking of a simple life with a relaxed tongue the dryer turns another monotonous cycle & lukewarm memories are all that's left to pack endless city infrastructure of concrete & wire sewage pipes, asphalt, & phone calls the wind blows crisp leaves in careless disregard & lisa has that vague sensation of a missing hour (C) 2/24/99 Tom Brinck ACCESSIBILITY FEATURES / SITEMAP / CONTACT |
