Tonight...

there was a too-beautiful view of the Wrigley building from the State Street bridge

there were too many Brads roaming River North hotspots

there were too many blank faces waiting for the bus

there were too many expensive cars cruising around Cabrini

there was too much hugging before slinking into limousines

there were too many shadows along the north branch

there was too much time between faces

there was music too good for the neighborhood

there were more vampires than nurses

there was a sky with no moon

there was not enough reason to kill myself.
