Chicago Blog 2: Inventions of the Monsters
The Wobblies and the lovers photograph themselves in fun-house reflections.
We stand back with our arms crossed, reserving judgment. We are ditchers.
The Hobo College carries the banner with worn-out soles and can't catch a lift. After 26 miles the runners hobble through the streets, weighed down by their medals; the anarchists still serve up deep dish portions of a monumental White Castle. No substitutions.
Who will bail out the students? Where will they park their parents' cars? The new pilings have sprung a leak deep down and we will discover the flooded basements much too late.
The ashes of the old city congeal into plexiglass and steel. The miles of grasslands have become urban renewal. Condominiums sail by.
We taxi the tarmac hunched in our capsule of air and close our eyes.
Side note: I found this really cool wikipedia article on Wobbly lingo: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wobbly_lingo. I had no idea!
