Vanishing Point Chicago
Yearning for Chicago I am torn, at home in two places. I wrote these lines after completing a pastel drawing of a sunset. I was a teenager whose friend cancelled plans, and I was not brave enough to venture into the city by myself. In short, I missed out on going to Venetian Night in 1999 because I was too chicken to take the train and go alone. Living in rural Crete, my real home was in Chicago; I longed for the adventure of city life.
