When you live in tough areas they don't look tough when you are inside it. I lived in Martinelli building (below).
I still have in my nostrils the smell of the humid dump air.
I need to go through three floors without light.
I hear people coming down while I going up. The foot steps would stop in the floor there was light.
We pass each other and we moved. I carried a screwdriver in my pocket, any false movement and I would plug a hole in the other person, and I am sure they'd do even worse to me too.
Oh, how we respect each other on those stair ways! Police could not arrest me for carrying a screw driver., I forgot it on my pocket I would say to them. It was a tool of my trade and showed the signs of being used for work.
I took Experiment to São Paulo and showed the building. Today retsored to its original 1920s magnificent status. She said: You told me you lived in a place for poor pelo. And you lived in this palace?
I said. You don't know how Martinelli Building was in the 70s...
police stormed it several times. Cordoned the entrance. I need to show my ID and tell them I lived there. Boss said to cop: "Follow him. If he does not enter a place that is his flat. Arrest him and bring him to me."

Do you really live in this place, he aslked as we climbed. I said. Yeah. 7th floor.
"Son, move away from here. You have a good job in the Telephone company. This is not a place for you.

I moved to Boca do Lixo. "Trash's Mouth" for 4 months and then started my Pole Climbing life April 1974.
