June "onion layers"
Here are some lines of writing that people have written on pieces of paper, affixed to the surface of "Putting Layers on the Onion" --
I am at the window of the first apartment we had in Chicago -- a third floor apartment with a row of floor to ceiling French doors. I am looking down the Rogers Park Street. I miss the pine trees. This paper looks and smells a little bit like them.

Chicago is a very good city with very good food, and the streets are very busy.

Does the orange line rumbling away smell like licorice?

a raisin is a grape that gets sweeter under blue sky -- I'm here 10 years
* * *
life of a busy street

Rode my bike down Diversey. A balloon tied to the back. We met on the bike path, riding south toward the big building. At least a full hour before sunrise. In the dark thousands of us swarming to organize. When the sun came up we were sitting at the harbor. The water calm.

Walking home hung over at 6 a.m., and smelling of cocoa. It made me feel sicker.

My sister solves the mystery! We are under the tracks, rusted & loud.
