Challenge
If stairs could talk...
Ragged Socks
Stairs balk at talk -
they’ve seen too much -
life’s ups and downs,
babies’ frowns.
Teenagers stealing
up the stairs
into their lairs,
they got their kicks
before parents caught
them in their tricks.
Dirty secrets
ground into stairs.
Teddy bears
falling down.
Scary clowns
waiting there,
stairs don’t care
they don’t talk,
holding up
all that weight,
tempting fate
of sorrows, cares,
sordid stares,
ragged socks
worn by jocks.
Stairs too slick
to talk at all.
But listen with care
you’ll hear the stair
whisper with flair
into cool night air.
