The sun comes up

The sun comes down

The plums on trees come up

The plums on trees come down

The bed sheets, the legs and the feet

come up and come down

The ocean comes up

The ocean comes down

The moon comes up

The moon comes down

The smiles and frowns on the lips

come up and come down

All along we’re on Earth’s going around and around

with the up and down of tree climbing, elevators and emotions

stock markets, shades for windows, diving boards and roller coasters

What comes down and stays down?
