The Escalator

Patrick Cannell © 2021

There's a machine that will astound,
Always goes up, never comes down.
Now stand in awe at the base
And see the way it escalates.

And I can't recall anything quite as interesting.
Brace yourself as the key unlocks a paradox.

Now take a place on the stair
And then go up into the air.
I hope your tooth brush is packed
Because there's no turning back.

And I can't recall anything quite as interesting.
Brace yourself as the key unlocks a paradox.
