We were ledge-sitters.
We understood why birds perch themselves on penthouse patio rails
And why airplanes sigh with breaths of relief when they are defying gravity.
We would hold the crooked hems of our dresses while we climbed metal stairs like mountains.
The urge for heightened perception of depths, distances, and the disarranged built in us like skyscrapers we hung ourselves over.
