High 5
DavioTheOne
It’s the sharp edged 5 which makes us stop.
As long as that 5 stands we can un-see the puddles, the patches and the cracks. This rooftop has a certain class because of that 5. I invite you to imagine it is 1975 and Faye Dunaway will drive up in a red Ferrari 275 GTS Spyder NART, one of only five, and park right here, which is somehow more likely because of that 5.
5 pillars of Islam, 5 books of the Torah, 5 sacred Sikh symbols.
Perhaps this is a countdown clue that we only have 5 weeks to save the world from probable collision with an asteroid 5 kilometers in diameter, and the likelihood of impact is 5%. Go and drink the last coffee now, if the all beans haven’t already gone.
Or maybe we are on the fifth floor. 5 floors up from street level, a different angle on the geometry of the city. A fine place to take a picture.
Note: Ferrari actually made ten 275 GTS Spyder NART cars, and the asteroid isn’t real either.
