bijou
the
city's
downtown
buildings
are
stretching
for
the
sky
tonight
,
all
lights
and
windows
peering
over
us
at
this
expired
parking
meter.
i
put
quarters
in
,
even
though
no
one
gets
ticketed
this
late
.
john's
big
deck
is
a
bar
that
sits
on
top
of
a
downtown
business
building
.
it's
only
four
or
five
stories
high
,
but
leaning
over
the
edge
of
the
railing
makes
you
so
tall
,
up
and
important
with
the
skyscrapers
and
high
-rises,
closer
to
god
or
heaven
.
in
charge
of
your
own
gravity
,
in
charge
of
your
own
vertigo
.
music
and
laughter
echoing
off
the
mirrored
windows
.
