Up and down

        Up is good

             down is bad

seems pretty basic

                         except --



up leads to down. . .

              eventually 

  I figured     that out.



so now 

     while it's up

            there's  that         

    (ouch!)     little pinch 

            of premonition --

 

     I know what's coming.



So I just have 

          to ask myself                

Where's the fun 

                 of invincibility

  when it 

       has an expiration date?
