perspective

avoiding looking in the direction of the skyline's prison bars on the rooftop deck next door, i'd hardly noticed the double gothic towers of a church resting its gaze on green and red on white awning out on ashland avenue. during the high morning hours, three figures scurried down the street, embodying an all-night aesthetic -- so many people here, alive at all times. and the city of big shoulders busting with another porch dweller like myself, just across the alley. banging around, cleaning up bottles from the porch of his abode on superior street.
