Memorial Day 2009, George sits down on the Blue Line to O'Hare, powers on Lenovo Thinkpad T61. As the processor churns, fingers dust screen edges, pixeling thumbprint auroras.
Earbuds plugged in canals, horn-rimmed lenses shine on scrolling through iTunes U2, REM, ABBA. A glance down Business Week Market Report podcasts--May 21 delete, May 22 delete.
Tab through balloon diagrammed slides of "Ilab Agenda". Open Outlook, begin letter: "Nils, The powerpoint looks good. A few small suggestions..."
Using the reflection in dark tunnel's window, I snap a photo.
The train elevates from subway to Damen's rain dripping platform, Bucktown buzzing.
