Skyline

This week, coming home on the train earlier than usual, I caught the sunset by the time I got to my stop. Some of the glass-faced buildings downtown were glowing reddish gold. They looked like they were aflame.

My el runs straight downtown, so I have a perfect view of the tracks running into downtown. After I got off the train, I waited until all the other passengers had gone down the stairs, and I stood by the rail and gazed at the city.

I felt a rekindling of my previous love affair with the city, and it made me happy.
