Boy, I sure do miss living and working in Chicago. Here’s a view of the city from the Evanston campus of Northwestern University. The day had turned bright and sunny where I was standing but it was still rather gloomy 12 miles away in downtown Chicago, with the morning fog still clinging to the buildings.

Beside a stricken field
I expect you
Good woman
But I wonder if you’ll arrive
Iwonder where you live
I long for it to be
In the endless, foolish merriment
Of my heart
