Stairs

Do you remember how long we have been climbing?

One foot after another,

Up flight after flight,

Or maybe down flight after flight,

I suppose it doesn’t matter


Have I told you it hurts to climb

Or descend these stairs?

It hurts in my hips

And it hurts in my knees

And it hurts in my ankles

And it hurts in my toes


It’s worst in my toes

Because little boys never ponder

The joints of their toes

But I know all 26 bones by name

But I wont bore you


Did I mention it doesn’t hurt anymore

To climb up and down stairs and

Seemingly take flight


But here’s the thing

I still hate stairs

Why do I feel compelled to

March

And dance

Down

And

Up?
