Rooftops

About eight months ago I moved from the suburbs into the city. Now I live on the fourth floor and I have a wonderful view on the rooftops of the other houses and into the sky. When I look at the antennas in the evening or I see snowflakes on the dark roofs at night, just like in movies that take place in Victorian London and start with the camera moving across the sleeping city, I am (almost) reconciled with the 82 steps I have to climb every day. Sometimes I look at the chimneys and would not be surprised if suddenly a chimney-sweep appeared and started singing a song about his work, but so far it has not happened...
