A Galaxy For Chris

Chicago’s pall, leave behind. Evanston’s smog, still, a hope. Lone telescope – through the fog, Faint light find, Andromeda’s call.

Nice flow of words and a pleasant sounding poem that brings back pleasant memories of youth, star gazing. Emile.

Hello Emile, Thank you for the kind words. Yes, in this case Chris was a girl that I knew as kind of kindred spirit in high school in NH. Upon graduation she went to Northwestern Univ in Evanston and I went to MIT. The poem was a rememberance for her individualistic and ever-seeking spirit.
