I wrote this experimental free verse in November 1988. If you are confused, just start from the lower left corner, read up like you are climbing a stairwell, then go to the bottom of the next column and read up again. Steps taken out of order do not make sense, but if you take the steps in order and focus then you will reach the top--and begin looking for the next stairwell!
Stairwell
opportunist you you you goal; next
patient and If where ultimate the
a step can. watch the for
be each you up, on look
must savor as yourself focus top
one haste; it Pick to the
life without from falter: forget reach
in but much not never you
succeed steadily as do but when
To Climb Learn Stumble Step-- And Stairwell.
