Floor 51
The elevator softly dinged open.
Gray suits shuffle around,
This too fast glass elevator- hated it
The air was too stale to breathe.
Gray suits shuffle around.
Floor 51 was much too high for a law office, everyone agreed,
The air was too stale to breathe
Hated heights, hated heights...
Floor 51 was much too high for a law office, everyone agreed.
This too fast glass elevator- hated it
Hated heights, hated heights...
Wait for the doors to ding open.
***
Gray suits shuffle around.
The city shrinking to a speck below, unnerving
Bated breath, count to ten, wait for the doors to open again.
The floors rising higher and higher
The city shrinking to a speck below, unnerving.
Counting the seconds until release
The floors rising higher and higher:
42, 43, 44
Bated breath, count to ten, wait for the doors to open again
Counting the seconds until release:
42, 43, 44,
The elevator softly dinged open.
