Poem

the ladder is metallic 
a shiny gun metal blue
light weight and telescopic

14ft tall or nearest the sod
as high or as low as i like it
i will displace myself upon it

i can lean it where and when 
i need it, it's light and portable
ascending or descending on its antislip pedals 

i do not climb the ladder

the ladder feels cold or hot
it teeters and is stead fast
my footing is lifted on it

i can mount it high
or as low as it will go
step down on it and heavenward again

the ladder makes a clatter
it clanks a rhythmic sound
three six nine rungs at a time

keeping a tempo on its firm board
one button retraction with multi positions
on this ladder i see all possible horizons

i do not climb the ladder

a practice in perspective
a soaring dismount while clutching the handrails
cascades and escalades

out of the forest, above the trees
the ladder is a step stool platform 
extendable or collapsible

i do not climb the ladder

come to me what i do not want
drop on ascend, raise the fall
do it with confidence and poise

the ladder is unpredictable
it suggests a cautious advance 
leading to somewhere never gone before 

the ladder makes authenticity blossom
taking all devices in stride
it neither confines nor defines

i do not climb the ladder
