Chicago
In this city
This cold
cold city
Where each breath crystalizes in your lungs
Little spindles spinning and poking your chest
In this city I walk to outpace my own thoughts
Music playing in my ear, “they better run, better run”
I walk at a pace that reflects my southern upbringing
But if I were to ever fall in love
I would want this city
This cold cold city
I would want this city
With its sounds
Sirens, aggressive horns
In the background
I would fall in love here
Forgetting about my neuroticism
Self-loathing and doubt
Cast like lots
Unto a board of nothingness
We are nothing
Our lives but a piece of a greater oblivion
Sleep well and enjoy the nothingness
For the ambitious
It is the only peace we shall ever know
