places, please

words like fire, thrown along with the physical things I’ll have to try not to step on the glass shards sweep them under the couch when the doorbell rings

when the doorbell rings, we say “places, please” like a perfect ensemble, we play out parts with ease

Celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month in Your Drama Classroom Tomorrow

Celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month in Your Drama Classroom Tomorrow

I heard we just had Celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month. Me neither.

I’m embarrassed to say I didn’t know those of Hispanic descent were celebrated on a particular month.

Well, they should be.  We are a melting pot here in the United States and should be proud of it! I am.

Places Please

First, second, third Why do we determine success based on other's failures? Fourth, Fifth, Sixth It shows that someone not as good did worse than someone better Seventh, Eighth, Ninth When their success is shadowed by the fact that they took a risk in another place

First, Second, Third How can someone win if it means everyone else loses? Fourth, Fifth, Sixth Why can't we recognize the wins in other ways? Seventh, Eighth, Ninth When every thing that matters is a prize that crushes people's attempts

Places please, Places please We better not fail tonight Places please, Places please This one is for first place!

Places please, Places please Suzy, don't forget your lines Places please, Places please I worked too hard for you to fail

Gold, Silver, Copper These medals used as weapons to try to force victory Gold, Silver, Copper These metals used as prizes when they could be so much more Gold, Silver, Copper Meaningless rewards given to those who worked too hard for recognition

Gold, SIlver, Copper Why do we care if it doesn't help the whole? Gold, Silver, Copper Why do we care if it doesn't advance society? Gold, Silver, Copper Why do we care if it doesn't make a difference?

You barely placed Words that can sting You aren't first place Words that can burn That's the wrong place Words that can destroy

I came upon a young woman standing in the middle of Cadman Plaza Park in Brooklyn, a block-wide island of green in the city’s downtown. She was staring fixedly at her smartphone, which she held up in front of her as if using it to sense a magnetic field, or perhaps radioactive contamination. As I passed, she turned to look at me suddenly, her face drawn and anxious. “Excuse me,” she said. “Can you tell me which way to the Brooklyn Bridge?” I turned around and pointed to the bridge entrance, which was in plain sight about 20 yards from where we were standing. “Thank you so much!” she said. “I just couldn’t figure it out with my GPS!”

I’d say I’ve worked on more films that want to find the imaginary version of New York than the real. The big thing I always get asked to find are dank dilapidated alleys, and New York City has, like, 5 alleys that look like that. Maybe four. You can’t film in three of them. So what it comes down to is there’s one alley left in New York, Cortlandt Alley, that everybody films in because it’s the last place. I try to stress to these directors in a polite way that New York is not a city of alleys. Boston is a city of alleys. Philadelphia has alleys. I don’t know anyone who uses the ‘old alleyway shortcut’ to go home. It doesn’t exist here. But that’s the movie you see. Your impression of New York is that it is the city of alleys, and then directors will come here, they’ve seen movies set in New York and they want their movies to have alleys. And it’s this self-perpetuating fictional version of New York that just kills me because movies are so much more interesting when you show a side of New York that actually exists but isn’t regularly highlighted.
