Come Up the Ladder to the Roof

Jacobs Ladder. These girls are church all the way.



I'm a Motown baby. I was 13 when MLK and Bobby were killed. 1968. Snipers on the roof and tanks in the streets.



I was doing acid by then so I thought it was cool. Just a child who thought the world worked that way because it did. My father drank and did pills. So did my mother. So did I. Home sweet home.



So I went up on the roof, tripping my ass off. I saw heaven and hell.
