Escalator

As Kids We run up the down escalator And down the up escalator Enjoying Playing Living our days happily Now As adults We walk up the up escalator And down the down escalator To get places faster To do work No more joy No more play But sometimes If you look closely Once in a while You can see a flicker of joy Across an adults face Hurrying to the almost departing train Doing their own little victory dance When they make it before the doors close Then they sit And get back to the office To get back to their desk To get back to life And it’s gone And it remains just a glimpse into their past As they sit And make a future for themselves.
