Scene 43, Take 6

It's all props and fronts,
the whole thing, though of brickwork
and rusty old steel
fastened strong enough
to hold a guy at full tilt
dodging the Tommys,
the spray of brick chips
while half falling down the stair

(actually a
ship's ladder so called)

toward the final ladder
a few more flights down.

There's a couple false wounds
and some actual
bruises gathered on
the way, and a couple grins
from the best boy's crew.
