(chicago 13) Montrose
by Andrew S Adamsbeach paper
dusty waves and the smog.
breathe in the atmosphere.
breathe in the skyline.
breathe in the water.
a page in a dusty notebook
can make 90 feel like a lazy 75.
and as i see the smogset,
i can notice several figures
enslaved to their cellphones-
too afraid to breathe in the here and now,
too afraid they'll notice the beauty
and never want to leave.
myself, i'm absorbed in the page of a notebook.
casually breathing in the view.
a breeze off the lake hits my back,
tonight is lazy on montrose beach. 08/29/2003 Author's Note: number 13 of the poems i wrote in chicago last month.
