Gad what a panorama
Gad what a panorama

Tes a fine roof and its wideness
has something to be said but it’s
maybe too meant to feel full roof
All in eyestretch differs chicken
little from an architect’s drawing
Saving messes for later

Canteen payers perp
their necks to its roof glass,
gathering max of clutchable forks
they jimmy upon the terrace
Piece by fork piece over-air to
nearest buildingtops, to front as
roof professionals (waiters, wind-
ow cleaners, smokers), for food
ova-edge fishing children from
fountains and guac from burritos.

Roofbound but a shortness,
they started to move differently
Empty paths found them unbend.
One sliced a leap through the air,
then using noses for windsails
all silently overlapped each other
