Upwards

Up. Up to the photocopier. Up to get a cup of coffee. Up to the dreaded monthly team meeting. Up to a one-to-one that you’ve been avoiding. Up to be told that you got the job. Up to a disciplinary hearing. Up to the toilet to kill some time.

Downwards

Down. Down the steps to the platform. Down the steps to the platform to wait for the train to take you somewhere else, to take you somewhere new. Down and begin the journey to a date or to visit family, for a night out or just to escape.
