One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was in Chicago, I was sitting on the bench in Millenium Park and wrote a poem for old-black couple who were also in the park.

I handshaked with Jay Kay from Jamiraquai, I hugged Sharon Van Etten and I totally lost myself in The Prodigy concert. Next 2 days, I couldn't walk ^^
