Last evening on Florida Street
there was a house fire and was
right on my block! Called 911
and was told to hang on, but
sound of fire engines was in
the air. Ran out to make sure
neighbors got out and were in
front of the house on fire.
From my easy chair first saw
flash of red and yellow with
surreal look in the twilight.
No smell of napalm so there
is no victory to be won.
San Francisco has high land
price and space is what you
really want. Houses are close
together as foot in a sock, all
up and sown the block! Are
not attached but close enough
to share walls, like one man's
ceiling is another man's floor!
House is standing and as I write
fire department arrived with a
hook and ladder to do inspection!
I guess when firemen get to drive
the big rigs they get an erection!
(my friend Billy the Fireman told
me that!)
