My Hometown

There it is,

Chicago;

looking as

if having just been pulled

from the 'Magician's Hat'.

Smoky,

Cloudy,

pretty damn ominous;

showing you its true colors,

telling you

where it's at.

*             *          *             *            *

For,

it's hard

to tell

what's illusion,

from what's real,

while motoring down

"The Outer Drive";

with

enormous,

metal,

monsters

dwarfing all

that are

alive....
