Stairs

Rickety stairs,
winding stairs,
narrow stairs,
magnanimous stairs,
wooden stairs,
stone stairs -
they're all stairs
after all,
with a beginning
and an end.
But can we build some
just like that,
stairs that head to nowhere?
And like little children
love to climb
up and down,
down and up,
creep, crawl, walk,
or just slide along
on our butt?
and then we'll watch
our every step,
or sit down
and take a rest;
there's no hurry
to get somewhere
or catch up with the rest.
