Escalator

Go on, go up towards the light,
my escalator-sharing friend,
but save the patronising glares

you throw to neighbours standing right.
We'll reach the summit in the end.
The busker plays; we're out of chairs.

And soon, and soon, comes on the night,
when none can walk, and life will tend
to turn to temporary stairs.
