Riding Escalators by Angela Thomas Everyone keeps reminding me, as if I had forgotten somehow, You know, you're leaving soon. Thank you I had almost forgotten, Captain Obvious. Everytime I hug him, kiss him, make love to him, talk to him I remember that soon, I won't have those little luxaries anymore. It's like there's a ribbon glued around my finger and everytime that I move my hand, it hurts. I'm always holding something and right now, it's his hand. I feel like I'm riding an escalator just writing this poem. My heart is racing and my palms are sweating. I keep imagining all the horrible and terrible things that could go wrong. Then I remember that escalators are neccessary in modern society, you can't really go shopping without them. I remember that I need you, even if it's only for the next six weeks. I remember. 06/29/2005 Posted on 06/29/2005 Copyright © 2024 Angela Thomas Member Comments on this Poem Posted by Christina Butcher on 07/04/05 at 06:42 PM you made my heart ache. i love this poem. the escalators were a nice touch and they bring up good imagery.
