Fire escapes
April 27, 2011
Ever noticed how often fire escapes are the setting of love scenes?
Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Pretty Woman, West Side Story…
Hollywood bit me at an early age. The hope of a passionate scene (on a fire escape) with me cast in the leading lady role has endured for decades.
I live on the 11th floor of a building. Even Daddy Longlegs ain’t gonna get to me and I like it that way. For now.
As eager as I was to find Mr Perfect in my 20’s, my brain said, “Not yet! I have things to do. I am not yet the person who will catch that guy’s eye and hold his attention.”
Now I think, “What a catch I am!”
But an alarm sounds in my brain, “Not yet!”
This is my time. Many doors have closed but a sparkle remains and up on the roof I only have to wish to make it so.
