On the Roof
Do you recall
his old place
up on high street-
above the liquor store?
Wall to wall
with would-be writers,
a couple real ones too,
blaring bop…
and other vices.
The city lights
burned brightly then.
Wine in the kitchen,
tea up on the roof
and all the talk
of Truth-
and never
growing old.
