For my failing voice, tea at adagio Tea in Naperville. Licorice and ginger for the throat. On to Anderson Bookstore. Reading soon.

In Chicago.

Traveling in America is a process of disconnection. Chicago is. Place of connection. AtvBlack Dog Radio.

To the things you love, to the things you miss,
To the alien mists, to the shadows of past, to the next day's tasks.
To the world you know, and the fears that grow, to the taxi that waits,
To the plane at the gate, and the people who wait,
With their open hearts, and their smiles.
That radiate.
