Floor tiles
Well, my knees make a noise
Grumble with pain
Breaths keeps blowing
At a rapid pace
As I walk too fast
Or climb any staircase
Yet can’t control
The childish urge
To avoid the margins
Where the tiles merge
And land my feet
With every step
In the middle of each floor tile

Hopping over the lines!
Yes those childhood reflexes don’t leave us
It’s good to be young at heart, always.
