Roofs

I rarely think of roofs at home,

But when I am abroad,

I notice many little things 

That strike a different chord.


The hotel window gives a view

Of houses ‘cross the street

With many chimneys sticking up

Like soldiers on their feet.


They might have other uses

And I don’t care what they are.

For me, they’re a reminder

That I’ve traveled someplace far.


It’s a privilege to explore

The unfamiliar while you can,

Since you never know when circumstance

May have another plan.
