MICHIGAN AVENUE, CHICAGO, NOVEMBER 2008
Art Institute,
Ancient Aztec, Inca, and Maya
Ceramic faces peering from America's hidden past
As real as you and me.
Grant Park,
Architect Gehry, new twists given
Thoughts of Barack
Finally agreed
Like you and me
Walls of glass bricks
Faces illuminated from inside
Reflections on pools in between
Mirrored Bean
You and me, all of us, a world
Reflected, refracted, bending, dizzying
Portraits of reflections of us taking pictures
Digital reality piled on itself
Swirling, spiraling, sweeps of
bits and bytes
Shaken to the edge of all that was real
I shatter down to the ground
My pieces fall
onto you
Embattered by emotion
Comforted by the
Ease of your warm touch.
