Downtown Chicago

Charcoaled bars

crisscross double-cross

                                              flimflam deceive

 

lost slippery streets

 

                                                                  Red yellow green

f         loats drifts

grifts

 

must be a little windy today

 

                                                                                            lines zig

                                                                      lines zag

lines refract

 

something blocking the road

 

to decypher

to solve

to crack

 

one must

go abstract

then reel themselves in

 

be concrete
