it was like a single wave lapping the shore of north ave beach on a humid chicago night the atmosphere filled with explosions and lights, a dizzying display of color up in the sky reflecting back down in a single wave kissing the sand below the city swallowed all feelings whole on the 4th that night and for a few more after until the show ended and the sun didn't come up the next morning, leaving the air filled with a smokey haze, awkward remnants mixed with what happened before & questions of what happens next and the wave retreated back into the lake as quickly as it came but even for just a few moments, it all seemed new and exciting one summer in the city
