Spiral Staircases are the Hardest to Climb


Spiral staircases are the hardest to climb
with so many twists and turns
like the thousand plot twists of the first and last
soap opera I had no intention to watch but stared at,
at my no name uncle's family gatherings
once in a week during the matching pinapo and shoes days;
the mandatory family time
where everyone was so full of urge
to blow their ancestral trumpets
so loud, with many twists and turns.

Now on this mandatory, once in a week climb
up and down on this spiral staircase at workplace; leading to some soundproof auditorium,
I wonder why I'm often breathless, with only a few more steps ahead.
Unnecessary plot twists are the hardest to tolerate
and spiral stairs, the hardest to climb
with no nice view on the top.
