Game 27

​CHI 105               OKC 96

We are all searching for something.

Regardless of our religion,
We look for perfection
And for purity
In a dirty world.

We need heroes.
We need to see a way out.

And we have learned
To believe in things--
To see things
That aren’t
Exactly
There.

We find ways
To have faith.

And testing that faith
Can make it stronger
And show us who we are.

But sometimes
We are wrong about things.

And in the end,
These heroes
We make
Are also people--

Capable of perfection and purity
But only in moments.

Flawed.
Just like the rest of us.

And while it can be infuriating as hell,

It’s also
The whole point.

Chicago breaks hearts.

She is beautiful
But cold

And never quite yours.
