Elevator Associations by
Kathleen Fellows
We wait in the elevator
Less than or equal to happy
Between department store
levels
My sisters stand tall and
bicker
Less than or equal to happy
My father admires the music
My sisters stand tall and
bicker
Only I seem to notice
My father admires the music
My mother looks to me and
smiles
Only I seem to notice
My mother’s eyes full of
distrust
We wait in the elevator
Between department store
levels
“I think this is your last
stroller ride”
My mother speaks to me and us
all
My sisters giggle at my state
My father only hears the
music
The ride takes an infinite
time
I see the lift sink inwards
My father only hears the
music
No one understands my
distress
I see the lift sink inward
What incredibly stressful
news
No one understands my stress
There is no help from my
sisters
What incredibly stressful
news
I strain in the stroller to
see
My mother continues to smile
My father is completely
useless
My sisters giggle at my state
The ride takes an infinite
time
