The Stairs by Charles J Hannan On the staircase I go up a steep trek Tripping up from time to time Past the stains and regrets The cat hairs and struggling Trampling on the beaten down late 1960's carpet I slip from time to time Often using the railing Before falling to my death Knowing a cold granite floor awaits my fragile neck The steps not being of correct measurement My foot overhangs Leaving the heel of my foot to guide the way Going down And the ball of my foot going up Mixed with little shortcomings I usually walk Or roll Slide down safely My beaten down late 1960's body seems in stride 09/05/2009 Posted on 09/05/2009 Copyright © 2025 Charles J Hannan Return to the Previous Page   pathetic.org Version 7.3.2 May 2004 Terms and Conditions of Use 0 member(s) and 2 visitor(s) online All works Copyright © 2025 their respective authors.
