On the way to the Union Station we passed the dyed green Chicago river. As I was running through the station to catch my train I nearly ran into a few different couples that were having arguments at different stages of violence.
One man looked shocked, like he'd just been slapped or given some kind of awful news; the woman nearest him kept screaming. As I ran past them, he started screaming back. The other couple was pushing each other; it really looked like a competition to see who was going to fall first. It might have started out as a joke but they were pushing each other harder and harder; neither of them were smiling, and she looked incredibly angry. Another couple further down looked thrilled to be with one another; one was slumped to the ground with his head between his knees and she glared into the distance with her arms crossed.
I made it to my train two minutes before it left.
This song celebrating your dislike for each other is for you, people dressed up in green, trying to win your battles in the tunnels below Union Station.
If you must dye your beer green, start with a decent brew.
