One Last Huzzah for Chi-City

To think oneself away from thoughts
is really like
hiring a beaver
to dam[n] Lake Michigan.

The PSI of driving by…
(under the yellow bellies of sliding street lights)
… concrete we’ve kissed with our feet,
coat still laced with our sins,
vaults my liver, lungs, heart, brain
tenuous and shifting
like the shadows unable to stand still.
