Perched on the Metal Spire

That juicy tomato filled my belly right up, but staring at walls again wasn't gonna cut it! I spotted a tall metal drainage pipe running up the balcony wall right next to the concrete ledge. Without thinking twice, I gripped the cold painted metal, jammed my sandals against the brick joints, and scrambled straight up! At the very top, I hooked an arm around the iron bracket and pulled myself up onto a narrow corner roost. The wind hit me square in the teeth! From up here, every street below looks like an open river waiting for me to jump right in!
