Escalator - Clifford T. Ward

I take back everything

I said about the modern technology

I met her on the escalator and

That's good enough for me

It happened in department

Store where everything is to be found

Well I was going down from first

And she was coming up from ground

While stationary moving by

She passed before my eyes

I could not help but turn around

And then before I knew what happened

I was looking up and she was

Smiling down

The whole thing escalated

To the fourth floor coffee shop

We talked about the price things

And oh I hoped it would not stop

And then she said she had to go

And oh I did not know

If we would ever meet again

But as the escalator slowly took

Her out of sight she said

'Tomorrow then'

I take back everything

I said about the modern technology

I met her on the escalator

And that's good enough for me
