Damen Station, Chicago, August 17th, 2015
The first and only Chicagoans I asked. They are sister and brother and they were waiting at the Damen Station in Pilsen, a largely Mexican neighborhood in the south side of Chicago. She said no at first, but I recited Ava’s great poem Spushcacao and Christina agreed. Here is Christina’s poem followed by Juan’s. Christina is a nine year old who loves playing video games and eating Mexican food. Juan is a music producer.

A day in the life of gotham city…

home from the ground up
rising from the fire it once
turned into. Chicago
