My friend tells me a man in my house jumped off the roof the roof is the eighth floor of this building the roof door was locked how did he manage? his girlfriend had said goodbye I'm leaving he was 22 his mother and father were hurrying at that very moment from upstate to help him move out of Brooklyn they had heard about the girl
the people who usually look up and call jump jump did not see him the life savers who creep around the back staircases and reach the roof's edge just in time never got their chance he meant it he wanted only one person to know
did he imagine that she would grieve all her young life away tell everyone this boy I kind of lived with last year he died on account of me
my friend was not interested he said you're always inventing stuff what I want to know how could he throw his life away how do these guys do it just like that and here I am fighting this ferocious insane vindictive virus day and night day and night and for what? for only one thing this life this life
