tell me how all this, and love too, will ruin us

Scenes from Stairway Walk #9, titled Walk Forward but Always Look Back

There are certainly some finer points and lingo of Secret Stairway walks. A few excerpts from Adah Bakalinsky, the ex-nun and author of my secret guidebook:

• “In addition, the tread to riser proportion of the stairs is not felicitous”
• “Open space around the comfortable stairs makes this a happy, bouncy descent”
• “Ascend the well-designed stairway. It features an unusual, long, elevated walkway—perfect for a stairway dance performance”

After a few hours, I find myself thinking more and more like Adah, getting indignant at things like concrete to foliage ratios, or appreciating haphazard L-shaped treads.
