Wow..i must say this poem is really beautiful. This woman(from the 13th floor) is clearly struggling with her life and of what it has become. She compares her life to the other people that are living "better" than she is. She seems like a single mother and feels that she has lost her beauty. She wants to jump and end her life because it is not what she has thought it would be but she holds on listening to her children's voices and thinking of how she can rebuild her life. She sees many other women hanging from their windows(as if there are in her same position). This poem seems like a poem for a single mother struggling to make ends meet. But she mentions Chicago a couple of times in this poem, I'm guessing it would have great significance but don't really know how(I'm not too familiar with Chicago). A little help on that part please....
