RUNNING UP THE ESCALATOR

I ran
up the escalator
from the subway platform

my cell phone
as heavy
as a cross
sank
beside pigeon tracks
in fresh cement

I'd been a fool
to think
I’d build
a sky
of wings
or a ladder
out of climbing

so I prayed
and knew
my prayers were heard
for I heard god
pray
to me

I am still waiting to hear those prayers....

hmmm I could tell you some escalator stories...I have a great fear of them even though I force myself to use them.
