Stairs are dirt collectors,
they have a lot of corners,
and corners are very protective of dirt,
and what’s more, stairs have feet
going up and down them
at least some of the time, dropping off
tiny particles of skin, hair, decaying leaves,
exoskeletons, diatoms, spores, minerals,
except stairs that are blocked off, but still exist,
barely able remember feet,
but even they know dust really well,
and dust has a lot of dirt in it,
if by dirt I mean soil, which I do,
and because stairs are dirt collectors
they can be said to be fond of dirt,
and dirt can be said to feel loved by stairs
and so what might seem at first glance inert
is in truth an orgy of appreciation,
and that is why any time you see or travel
stairs, you should try to keep in mind
their great love of dirt and the greatness
of dirt being loved.
