Armadillo Home

Rush Hour, Chicago Early evening traffic's rather heavy. Autos armadillo home along the Outer Drive as out of mouths of buildings people enter mouths of anything that moves wherever every evening they are going. Tonight they interrupt the passion of another person’s day, the crone astride the hydrant who once again this evening bows and swoops and curses as she burlaps broken glass gives the finger to nice people propped in autos staring as she lets the traffic pass.
