the rooftop bar

from the rooftop
bar
the sun
stretches out its setting along
the ridge
of the city.
a creamy
layered cake
of pinks and yellow.
what you can't see from
the ground
you can see here.
it's a hipster place
of short
skirts
and heels.
of men in suits,
in the elderly sipping
martinis
and beer.
the world is no longer
a topic
of discussion.
it's too far from here.
it's new.
the smell the shine
of iron,
of wood and glass.
the bartenders are young.
the food
is rich
and expensive.
you can see how people
jump from the ledge
after observing
the fabulous view.
