So good to be home <br />and out of the heat. <br />All those excess people reminded I'm alone <br />as I explored the busy Chicago streets. <br /> <br />So good to be mild <br />and not full of heat. <br />All those old buildings reminded I'm only a child <br />as I explored the ancient Chicago streets. <br /> <br />So good to be recognized <br />and not sweating in the heat. <br />All those dollars spent reminded me of the love I'm still denied. <br />as I explored the poor Chicago streets. <br /> <br />So good to be back from running away <br />and back from the heavy, humid heat. <br />All of the luggage and vacations reminded me problems come to stay. <br />as I left, for a long time, those Chicago streets.<br /><br />Delilah Miller<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/chicago-streets-2/
