Place up north

I had no sense of being carried along
through angled roads and under
beautiful telephone poles

When the people were asking
what were they asking
They would say

You need that shirt to keep warm
and are you trying
to place flowers in my hair

without first asking
if you have a place up north
and would I like to go there

Five sentences in
you used to go to school
you used to ride a bike

and where were the papers flying
when that mistake
was like a harsh town road

neglected and full of bumps
and you had no sense
of being carried along
