I am sitting on my
balcony. I hear a roaring sound that sounds like an airplane but continues to
drone on, making me wonder if it’s a helicopter or a stunt plane getting ready for the Air and
Water Show in a couple weeks. I see cars driving by 28 floors below. The yellow
taxi cabs jump out in my sight. Less noticeable are the gray and silver cars. A
turquoise sedan catches my eye. I can see the beach from here, and wonder if
it’s too cold to go swimming. I see people biking along the paths and wonder if
I should go to the gym. My period key sticks and reminds me look at new
laptops. There are people walking by the gas station, I wonder what their story
is. It is a beautiful afternoon up here, the sun is shining. There are clouds
that look like wisps of cotton floating in the infinite blue sky. I hear the
drone of the TV, Rachael Ray teaching us how to make a meal quick! There are
birds flying through the sky and I hear their songs, or perhaps they are
communicating to each other, watch out for that car! I hear a truck rumbling
through the street and heavy chains being lifted by the building. They must be
starting the window washing project, or they are working on the elevators from
the outside. A lawn mower abruptly starts and stops, making me wonder what grass
they may be cutting. I look across and there is a grassy rooftop, but I do not
see any mower perhaps its mowing by the lake, in all the parks. I see a silver
plane fly overhead, where is it going I wonder. I see 2 men moving things up to
a 3rd floor walk up. I wonder what they are making, or if they are
moving in. I hear drilling in the distance, must be one of the many road
construction projects that define Chicago summers. We only have 2 seasons you
know, Winter and Construction! Sailboats pass on the lake, one doesn’t have any
sails up but is going at a quick pace, must be one of the ones with a motor. I
see people jet skiing as well.
Feedback? Thoughts? What to do now??
