Ode to Stairs

The sequences of steps behind the RB.
Yes I have been running up them, late every day for much too long.
Sometimes two at a time,
Sometimes singly,
Sometimes not running at all but carefully,
wearily,
plodding my way to class.
But that only when I was on time.
Which was rarely.
Today we met for maybe the last time.
And I won.

Goodbye suffocating steps.
I will miss you.

Maybe.

  1. I used to walk up those stairs EVERY SINGLE DAY after my Spanish class.
    I remember thinking that by the end of the semester it would be easy.
    Wrong.
    Steps of doom/stairs of death no more.
    Thank goodness for graduating.

Please know that (1) I LOVE comments, and (2) if you leave an anonymous comment, I will be driven insane wondering who you are.

I just told you how to simultaneously make me really happy and really crazy (well crazier than normal anyways). That's probably dangerous.
