Elevator Boy from Late Bloomer by Iris Romen

The elevator boy
makes the elevator go
all the way down

Between the stops he tells me stories
it don‘t matter where we go
He picks me up wherever I am
And on the downstairs he says Goodbye to me
End of his shift
And the boy goes home

The elevator boy
makes the elevator go
all the way down

He knows that in my heart
there‘s a little elevator
that he‘s been operating very well
And I don‘t even notice
how he pushes all the buttons
Sending us all the way down
And in the basement he says goodbye to me
End of his shift

Time and time again
and very patiently
he sends the elevator all the way down
to the bottom of my heart

6th floor, 5th floor
4th floor, 3rd floor
2nd floor

The elevator boy
makes the elevator go
all the way down

And one day, he‘ll stop talking
before we even get there
And when we get there
he asks me if I want to
go home with him
