this might       come clear

        .

     looking over my shoulder when nothing’s there at all

        .

 and when the moment was over

 ,

      i tried to find   a universe so small

we walked on the rooftops

     ,

            and saw the people below us

  .

  and thinking they were alone   there

         ,

    they    laid their conscience clean

   .

not wanting to eavesdrop

      ,

          we    shuffled into the shadows

                          .

     and climbing down from the top

  ,

i saw   windows like a thousand eyes at night

       .

          their eyes were full of light

 .
