looking out at The City tonight

through a great big plate glass window

no dividers to break up the magnificence

of twinkling lights

from cars, streetlights, buildings and signs

sounds of the el drift upward

to the ninth floor where I’ll be sleeping

what a view

wish I weren’t so tired

so I could drink it in

and daydream

about The City

at night

a view downtown Chicago

from the hospital

bedtime here

goodnight

zzzzzzzz
