Electric Stairs
Ascending the escalator,
In search of a replacement
Blender, or food processor, or some combination
Of the two,
You said how much you enjoy buying things
For our home.
Never satisfied, I asked why
When I should have expressed gratitude;
However, my probing tongue summoned
A more quenching response than
Your original love proclamation.
“We can tell our kids we’ve had
This or that for 20 years.”
To hear such stunning promises
On stairs that move for you.
This is one of those moments when you can actually feel your heart.
