Down, Down

Chris Johnson

When I believe I’m almost there
Someone goes and moves the goal.
The trip falls off the sides of the maps.
My GPS flashes “Out of Range.”
The plans I’ve made with care
Have gone awry, eaten by mice.
When I look through binoculars
Everything moves farther away.
I run only to discover
That I am on an escalator
Going in the opposite direction.
There are two elevator buttons
But both take me down
Regardless of which way they point.
“Movin’ on up” is a TV fantasy
And that “deluxe apartment” is the gutter.
