An Emotion, Hard to Define

I'd like to dedicate this piece in Thunderclap! 8 to the city of Elgin, IL.
Look! My piece even got the excerpt slot in the press release. Give me attention! And love! I'm needy!

Heroin-junkie prostitutes, hotel room chocolate boxes, nighttime walks in a river town.
What more could you ask of some light Sunday reading?

Excerpt from "An Emotion, Hard to Define" as published by Thunderclap! Press:

"An emotion, hard to define, stalks Capital Street. After last call but before the puffs of exhaust from Sunday morning paper delivery--at a time when the best thing in your life that ever happened to you changes into the best thing in your life that ever could have happened to you and it melts the frost that started in your gut two days ago that's been telling you you were stupid. Stupid for jumping. That part only ever says slow down slow down or blow it after your feet have left the ground."
