Shall I say, at delivery man's dusk
The hush, of the city descending
Is a part of the Love affair
That interested Chicagoan's
Recognize daily
Along the "Magnificent Mile"
Where you can touch the ease
Of the downtown day's ending
And making it's way toward Halsted Street
Where the peanut shells dance to the blues
On the floor at "Kingston Mines"
And poets painting pictures with words
Over at the "Green Mill", smile ~ a knowing smile
While Johnny and Charlie control the beat
Sittin' on the corner with no legs from the war
Feelin' the jazz fill their paper cups
With friendly dollars and Chicago type advice
Don't drink the money away baby
Cuz it gets cold in the Windy City
And as the hush of the city, becomes a veil
Where darkness prevails, and morph's into
The blistering night life
That sent Michael Jordan
To the moon...
Tony Taylor (Chicago)

I agree with Cherie, Chicago, as well as all the major cities is presented before the eyes of the provincial as a dream reality. Chicago architecture has created school and is studied in all the universities in the world, there is a fact about Chicago that is unknown to many people, all labor movements that have emerged in the 20th century claiming rights and wage improvements started in Chicago by the construction workers, a few decisive moments in history where several workers who had not committed any crime were sentenced to death today known around the globe as... "The Martyrs of Chicago"
The poem reflects to perfection all the night life that every day when the Sun begins in the city of Chicago.
A greeting to all.
