failure not

blank stares, and blank stairs.
the escalator gearing up ever so slowly,
while you wait, you wait only to find
that the most important little circuit has blown, the tiniest electrical failure,
and all upward movement haults.
you stand still, anticipating a tiny glitch.
it will start up again....but it doesn't.
then you remember,
clearly baffled, you realize it's not so bad.
overstep them as stairs, keep climbing,
and don't stop...don't look back.
just use the elevator next time :)
