In Front of My Building

They’re filming* in front of my building, Equipment all over the place. The crew members milling in bunches; Huge trailers invading the space. It’s cool to hear “Roll ‘em!” and “Action!” And know that one day on TV, The place where I live will be featured, With actors appearing, not me. It isn’t a common occurrence So nobody minds all the fuss. Tomorrow we neighborhood people Will be back to routines, with just us. *an episode of “And Just Like That”

It's wonderful that you live in a now-famous building. Unfortunately, you are part of fame, but the money went elsewhere. I hope it was a good time. I really enjoyed the poem.

I agree with Tom, Ilene...a perfect opportunity for a "cameo" appearance.
