The Endless Stair
Two people countingon the way down.One hundred.One hundred and—Disagreement.Start again.Wood.Rail.Landing.Trees.The beach appearsbetween branches.Never closer.Another landing.Surely that onewas already passed.Counting stops.Nobody decidesto stop.It simply ends.The stairs become easier.At the bottom:sky.Water.Nothing to check.Nothing to photograph.The number never comes back.Relief does.
