Chicago Summer 2

I respect those commuters
who remain
in this oven-like train car
all of us beading sweat
as we languidly chug north
from the vaulted Loop
more concerned
with seats and space
than functioning A/C
as we quietly persist
in the stifling heat.
I view the silent tenacity
of my fellow citizens
with pride, not misery.
