To Almost End
The day I broke
my glasses: I
sat of them, thinking
of Shelly, Byron, Keats:
the kids on the east side
of Detroit with no tomorrow:
I can't see without them.

When I lived in Detroit and taught at Wayne State University the East side was quite terrible. If you live there it must have changed. Thanks for the comments.

Yes. I guess it is. "A small world." So you live by there now? Right? At first I lived by Wayne State University. It was a ghetto then. But people took care of me, watched out for me. Then I moved to Southfield. Does that still exist? I love Detroit. The only city I love more is Chicago, because I was born and raised there. In 2010-2011 I was a Visiting Professor at Loyola University, which is in the Rogers Park section of Chicago, near Northwestern. Sounds like you and I have a lot in common, though. Thanks for the information.
