Stair Poem (After A.A. Milne)

Photo and poem (also in alt text)

(4/?)

#poetry #poetsofbluesky #architecture #nycpoetry #poem #nyc #lifttothesky #writingcommunity

After A.A. Milne— A lifetime can be whiled away at the bottom of the staircase, gazing up at how many flights rest unbidden and waiting. A lifetime can be whiled away at the top of the staircase, ogling back at what’s climbed, longing need for those passed. But a lifetime can be found only somewhere on a middle stair— when your legs are heaviest and your eyes are locked on nothing but the next step that must be taken.

I am the old and I am the new. Where brick-bone and glass-pop. Where sewer arteries move train cars and millions of cells powerhouse through. I am an art deco street light with Bluetooth compatibility, lamp-shading your selfie any every hue you want tonight.

The neighbor has grown two pines. Or, perhaps those who lived there once when the rent wasn’t for masqueraders playing pretend in million dollar homes, planted these conifers with black hands. Tended to them until the city said taxes had gone so high that they were pushed a street over, another, one more… all the way to another island, separated by a river’s rushing from the roots they had put to earth uptown where the Columbia undergrads sip twelve dollar beer and dream of one day owning anything.
