Up The Stairs They Go

Every time I see a chalkboard,
I am reminded of two little girls—
Fearless rule breakers climbing a
Staircase with their makeshift
Slide, seeking the thrill of a
Rollercoaster ride only known inside
Their curious minds. 

Faster and faster they fly down the
Stairs—Thump!  Stopped by the wall,
The ride is over.  With their blue eyes
Wide open, there is a moment of intense
Silence, followed by a thousand little
Giggles—skipping away together,
Holding hands, back up the stairs they go.
