00:00:01.110 --> 00:00:06.240 align:middle line:84%
Two small poems and I'm going
to end with a long poem.

00:00:06.240 --> 00:00:09.450 align:middle line:84%
This is called "The View from
the Roof, Waverly Place."

00:00:09.450 --> 00:00:12.540 align:middle line:84%
"By accident, I gaze
at these two young guys

00:00:12.540 --> 00:00:14.790 align:middle line:84%
standing on the roof across
from my office window.

00:00:14.790 --> 00:00:16.980 align:middle line:90%
A moment, otherwise, theirs.

00:00:16.980 --> 00:00:19.530 align:middle line:84%
They watched and listened
to the Sixth Avenue.

00:00:19.530 --> 00:00:20.430 align:middle line:90%
They talk.

00:00:20.430 --> 00:00:23.490 align:middle line:84%
They have time in their
lives for a smoke.

00:00:23.490 --> 00:00:26.040 align:middle line:84%
Then the one on the
left loops his arms

00:00:26.040 --> 00:00:29.280 align:middle line:84%
around the other's shoulder,
my buddy, my buddy.

00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:31.060 align:middle line:90%
They have a quilt of lives.

00:00:31.060 --> 00:00:36.050 align:middle line:84%
Spread below them, the cool
thrill of looking down."
