About Chicago

I’m over here solderin’ circuits, thinkin’, “Man, whores got stories.” One time, this chick told me she paid her rent in two nights—two nights! I’m bustin’ my ass with these radios for a week to get that. Respect, man, fuckin’ respect. “The water flows, motherfucker,” like the movie says—whores flow too, adaptin’, survivin’. Ain’t no shame in that.

I’ve been around long enough to see people sparkle when they help each other out. As a counselor, I notice the little sparkles that others might miss. I remember one session in a cozy corner near the Lakefront Park. The view was so calming I almost forgot my work. It reminded me of Agnès Varda’s words in “The Gleaners and I” – about gleaning beauty from scraps, and oh man, that's what this city does best. It’s just pure, raw life: la vie est belle, right?
