575s from the 773
An urban haiku collection inspired by my new life in the Windy City.
About Me
Imani Joy
Chicago, IL, United States
huntress of the right brain I adorn my face with red acrylic paint

9.27.2010
electricity
between our skin could power
eclectic cities
9.23.2010
concrete iron steel
giants stand in my shadow
I am twice as strong
9.21.2010
looking for a job
to support my other job
can you spare some change?
9.20.2010
taking shallow breaths
to avoid that dog piss smell
leaping from the bricks
construction outside
shakes me from my pillow where
i dream of machines
9.18.2010
buildings disappear
into concrete colored sky
like chameleons
9.17.2010
lost my transit pass
eighty dollars down the drain
I'm a woman now!
9.16.2010
and I see your face
in a dream or on a screen
pixellated hope
Don't you love it when
your emotions run outside
on a rainy day?
