your floor

when you were
young, you
reached up
and pushed all
the buttons
on the elevator,
lit them all up,
letting the doors
slide open
to each and every
floor. it made
no difference.
you were in no
hurry to be
anywhere, not
up, not down.
you were careless
and having fun,
but things have
changed and now
you push only
the button of
the floor you
need and want
to be at. i'm
pushing yours.
