The stairs are the stage of life. It presents you with unexpected and much anticipated turns. The moving man is uncertain, the stairs are certain. Man's thoughts and desires are also staircases. The wings are long gone. Sometimes they go up to the attic, sometimes down to the basement.
Many of these unaligned desires leave the home, only to suddenly turn into their opposite outside, becoming an unwanted companion. Who wants no one, who wants no one. Lack of courage? Lack of ability? Everyone seems to be what they're not. Some people struggle against it and fall into it. Some don't, and others fall for it. The stairs, it seems, are a way in, not a way out.
