From the Rooftop Down

Looking from our rooftop down
Bright yellow Danish plastic plates
I nearly got pulled out of this but I’m back
First go swim in a woody lake
Back to my room
After a Chaplin film in school
You were reaching down my pants
And Roxanne sounded scary
On my first mission years before
Before sending me out the door
My dad said
«Turn left in third avenue and walk four blocks»
I turned right
And walked a long time
It’s complicated out here
And you know it
