IN CHICAGO: Little Brother, Full of Light · 13 October 09
In Chicago, the light hit my brother and shone straight through:
—-
We walked among construction, bright like twin suns.
—-
Bricks towered and blurred and unblurred.
—-
Things fell in unexpected ways.
—-
Little Brother tried to understand it all.
—-
But the sidewalk symbols were no use.
—-
No, seriously, the blue caduceus on the sidewalk in the night? It confused me. But overall, our blue and orange day made me love Chicago plenty. In America for the next month, and then back to Japan and then on to the ship…

Oddly enough I found a few blue caduceus when I was in Philadelphia a few months ago. After a little digging, I’ve come to the conclusion that they were part of a marketing campaign for House: http://www.snakesonacane.com/

J : Thanks. I’ll send postcards.
Mel: Curses! You’re right.
I was so hoping to have discovered a secret society…

Ha, I was hopeful that fertility cults were on the rise. Having your hope snuffed out by House is the worst.
